Online resources: Summary: "In Money Matters: Economics and the German Cultural Imagination, 1770-1850, Richard Gray investigates the discourses of aesthetics and philosophy alongside economic thought, arguing that their domains are not mutually exclusive. The transition from an agrarian or proto-industrial economy to a capitalist industrial economy, which was paralleled by a shift from the exchange of specie to the use of paper currencies, occurred simultaneously with an efflorescence of German-language literature and philosophy. Based on close readings of canonical literary and philosophical texts, Gray explores how this confluence led to a rich cross-fertilization between economic and literary thought in Germany during this period."--JacketSummary: Buying into signs: money and semiosis in eighteenth-century German language theory -- Hypersign, hypermoney, hypermarket: Adam Müller's theory of money and romantic semiotics -- Economic romanticism: monetary nationalism in Johann Gottlieb Fitche and Adam Müller -- Economics and the imagination: cultural values and the debate over physiocracy in Germany, 1770-1789 -- Counting on God: economic providentialism in Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling's Lebensgeschichte -- Deep pockets: the economics and poetics of excess in Adelbert von Chamisso's Peter Schlemihl -- Red herrings and blue smocks: commercialism, ecological destruction, and anti-sematism in Annette von Droste-Hülshoff's Die Judenbuche -- The (mis)fortune of commerce: economic transformation in Adalbert Stifter's Bergkristall -- Conclusion: Limitless faith in the limitless: money, modernity, and the economics/aesthetics of mediation in Goethe's Faust II.PPN: PPN: 1019076291Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | ZDB-4-EBA
