In much of the critical tradition in political economy, capital - financial or otherwise - is depicted as a "monstrous" or already-existing kind of structure. This book reviews a form of capital - "popular finance" - which exists in a much different way from the common depictions in political economy. This book argues that programs of "popular finance" are important as a site at which capital is visible, not as a macro-structural reality but as a category itself which needs to be made and performed often in the spaces where it does not already exist. In order to pursue this kind of analysis, particular attention is paid to the ways in which "culture" has been used as a way to intervene in everyday kinds of spaces and to develop a form of capital within those spaces.
