How Abstract Is It? Thinking Capital Now

<p>Since the start of the financial crisis in 2008 the notion that capitalism has become too abstract for all but the most rarefied specialists to understand has been widely presupposed. <i>How Abstract Is It? Thinking Capital Now </i>provides an indispensable counterpoint to the economic turn in the humanities bringing together leading literary and cultural critics to reconsider the question of abstraction - an issue at the heart of the recent financial crisis yet seldom addressed directly in the wealth of criticism to which it has given rise. This book was originally published as a special issue of <i>Textual Practice.</p></i>
