At the core of financial imagination lies a notion of value – of ‘value creation’ – that is loaded with trouble. This is the trouble of a fragile metaphor: a metaphor of fecund money and future return, of true value and false value, of true value that should be protected from the perils of dilapidation, expropriation, and speculation, but whose substance is in fact nowhere to be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary conspiratorial, millennialist discourse on money, banking, and wealth does not embody a delirious misrepresentation of the logic of finance: rather, it exacerbates the paranoid potentials inherent in mainstream financial imagination. This is the radical hypothesis developed in \u003cem\u003eParanoid Finance\u003c\/em\u003e: that of paranoid finance as a sedimentation of the demons that haunt the conventional categories of financial value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTutorials abound today that guarantee access to secret knowledge about the financial system, to magical currencies that release eternal returns, to legal schemes conducive to personal sovereignty, and to a way out of economic enslavement. They often combine disparate elements of esotericism, conspiratorialism, antisemitism, populism, libertarianism, or spiritualism. But as Muniesa shows, they also provide a testbed for a critique of the limits of financial imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47426974843116,"sku":"9781509561179","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509561179.jpg?v=1774767770"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/fabian-muniesa.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
