MONSTERS OF THE MARKET investigates the rise of capitalism through
the prism of the body-panics it arouses. Drawing on folklore, literature
and popular culture, the book links tales of monstrosity from earlymodern
England, including Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, to a spate of
recent vampire and zombie fables from sub-Saharan Africa and it
connects these to Marxs persistent use of monster-metaphors in his
descriptions of capitalism.
Reading across these tales of the grotesque, this is a fascinating
account of the cultural and corporeal economy of a global marketsystem.
An original contribution to political economy, cultural theory,
commodification-studies and 'body-theory.
