A Definition beyond Materiality and Quantity --; Afterword --; Index; restricted access N2 - Traditionally viewed as an abstraction, the quantitative nature of money is essential in evaluating the relationship between monetary systems and society. Money Counts moves beyond abstraction, exploring the conceptual diversity and everyday enactment of money’s quantity. Drawing from case studies including British jewelers, blood-money payments in Germanic law codes, and the "idian use of money in cosmopolitical Moscow, a Western Kenyan village, and socialist Havana, the chapters in this volume offer new theoretical and empirical interpretations of money’s quantitative nature as it relates to abstraction, sociality, materiality, freedom, and morality UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781789206869?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781789206869 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781789206869/original ER -
