Drawing on folklore, literature and popular culture, the book links tales of monstrosity from early-modern England, including Mary Shelley's \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, to a spate of recent vampire- and zombie-fables from sub-Saharan Africa, and it connects these to Marx's persistent use of monster-metaphors in his descriptions of capitalism. Reading across these tales of the grotesque, \u003ci\u003eMonsters of the Market\u003c\/i\u003e offers a novel account of the cultural and corporeal economy of a global market-system. The book thus makes original contributions to political economy, cultural theory, commodification-studies and 'body-theory'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891288490135,"sku":"9789004201576","price":18373.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004201576.webp?v=1781183042","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/monsters-of-the-market-zombies-vampires-and-global-capitalism-9789004201576","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
