Description

American attitudes towards money have long been marked by intense debate and passion. From colonial history to the present day, people in the United States have grappled with questions about the value and character of money. Michael O'Malley explores how American thinking about money has intertwined with issues of race, revealing a complex web of social anxieties and hierarchies. By examining a range of historical sources, he sheds new light on the ways in which ideas about monetary value have been linked to concepts of identity and worth. This book offers a fresh perspective on the cultural significance of money and its relationship to issues of authenticity and difference, providing valuable insights into the ongoing impact of these themes on contemporary society.
