Este es un libro para personas bien versadas en filosofía y literatura occidental.

"Que el dinero y el idioma sean sistemas complementarios o competitivos de producción e intercambio trópicos indica que el dinero no sólo es un tema, un contenido metafórico... sino que también participa activamente en todas"

Personalmente lo encontré muy complicado de leer y entender. Sin embargo, la conexión entre economía monetaria y lingüística a lo largo de la historia la encontré fascinante y reveladora.

Shell comments on the developmental narrative entailed by the emergence of the Money-form as the general representer of Value and establish an adequate analogy between this narrative on the one hand and narratives of psycho-sexuality or language-production on the other.

Super great chapter with a close reading of Merchant of Venice in terms of money. As a literary theorist, not only does he have great conceptual readings of Merchant, he has also read surprisingly broadly across the Shakespeare cannon (reference to 2 HVI, Cymbeline, 2HIV, are frequent in footnotes). Much respect.
