Challenging postmodernist theories, this work emphasizes the connection between language and human bodies, arguing against the separation of language from material practices. It revisits the concept of 'historical bodies' as proposed by Marx, Darwin, and Freud, while offering a fresh perspective on language through the insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, Walter Benjamin, and contemporary materialist feminism. This approach highlights the significance of bodily experiences in understanding language and politics.

Everywhere the Market goes it spawns monsters in its wake. From Frankenstein, to Zombies, McNally analyzes these creatures of Capitalism.

Die meisten historischen Darstellungen über die Ursprünge des Geldes gleichen einem Märchen: Geld sei zum gegenseitigen Nutzen aller entstanden und Ergebnis von friedlichen Tauschgeschäften. Ganz anders David McNally. Er macht deutlich, wie eng verbunden die Entwicklung des Geldes mit Sklavenhandel und Krieg ist. Seine Untersuchung – gleichsam eine Geschichte des Geldes – reicht von der Antike bis zum Aufstieg des US-Dollars zur Weltwährung. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die zentrale Rolle der Kriegsfinanzierung bei der Entstehung des modernen Bankwesens, eindrucksvoll vorgeführt etwa am Beispiel der ersten Jahrzehnte der Bank of England oder in einem komprimierten und faszinierenden Überblick über den US-amerikanischen Kapitalismus. McNally zeigt nicht nur, wie das Geld seine gewalttätigen Ursprünge »verinnerlicht« hat, sondern auch wie es zu »der« sozialen Macht im Kapitalismus geworden ist.
