Long description: Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich der Frage, was die Literatur über das Ökonomische weiß. Zu Zeiten, in denen wohl zu Recht allenthalben behauptet wird, unsere Gesellschaft und mithin das Leben jedes Einzelnen sei zunehmend vom Ökonomischen bestimmt, ist diese Frage in besonderer Weise relevant: umso mehr, als es oft bei dieser Behauptung bleibt und darüber hinaus nicht in den Blick gerät, wie die Rede von der ‚Ökonomisierung‘ eigentlich funktioniert, welchen Wertehaushalt sie ihrerseits etabliert und wo in historischer Hinsicht ihre Anfänge zu vermuten sind. Die Literatur weiß hier Abhilfe zu schaffen: Spätestens seit Beginn der Frühen Neuzeit gibt sie Aufschluss darüber, wie die Subjekte, Medien und Modalitäten ökonomischen Handelns zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten bedacht und zur Sprache gebracht werden – vor allem da, wo (wie vor dem 18. Jahrhundert) noch kein systematisches Wissen über die Wirtschaft der Gesellschaft verfügbar ist, aber auch da, wo (wie vom 18. Jahrhundert bis heute) die Volks- und Betriebswirtschaftslehren offensichtlich an ökonomischen Tendenzen des Gesamtzusammenhangs wie an den Erfahrungen und Befindlichkeiten Einzelner regelmäßig vorbei gehen. Dieses, das literarisch vermittelte Wissen vom Ökonomischen, genauer: von der Genealogie des ökonomischen Menschen, wird hier lesbar gemacht.

In this highly original reexamination of North American poetry in English from Ezra Pound to the present day, Christopher Nealon demonstrates that the most vital writing of the period is deeply concerned with capitalism. This focus is not exclusive to the work of left-wing poets: the problem of capitalism's effect on individuals, communities, and cultures is central to a wide variety of poetry, across a range of political and aesthetic orientations. Indeed, Nealon asserts, capitalism is the material out of which poetry in English has been created over the last century. Much as poets of previous ages continually examined topics such as the deeds of King Arthur or the history of Troy, poets as diverse as Jack Spicer, John Ashbery, and Claudia Rankine have taken as their "matter" the dynamics and impact of capitalism-not least its tendency to generate economic and political turmoil. Nealon argues persuasively that poets' attention to the matter of capital has created a corresponding notion of poetry as a kind of textual matter, capable of dispersal, retrieval, and disguise in times of crisis. Offering fresh readings of canonical poets from W. H. Auden to Adrienne Rich, as well as interpretations of younger writers like Kevin Davies, The Matter of Capital reorients our understanding of the central poetic project of the last century.

Pride and Profit explores the ways in which Jane Austen's novels interact with the ideas of economist Adam Smith. Bohanon and Vachris show how Smithian perspectives on virtue are depicted in Austen's novels and how Smith's and Austen's perspectives reflect and define the bourgeois culture of the Enlightenment and industrial revolution.
