Studies of a novel by James Ellroy and the TV series \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e enable Kraniauskas to consider how ideas developed in one context can be used to explain experiences in another; he also explores an ongoing shift from texts that are centered on the state and its actions to those in which other groups come to the fore. Throughout, there's a useful emphasis on the cultural experience of money, and how it can be traced through a wide variety of texts and cultural productions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890202493079,"sku":"9781783169542","price":6154.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781783169542.webp?v=1781179095","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/capitalism-and-its-discontents-power-and-accumulation-in-latin-american-culture-9781783169542","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
