MAKING MONEY: THE PHILOSOPHY OF CRISIS CAPITALISM

Book ID/图书代码： 13850014B68507

English Summary/英文概要： What is money? Where does it come from? Who makes our money today? And how can we understand the current state of our economy as a crisis of money itself?

In Making Money, Ole Bjerg turns these questions into a matter of philosophical rather than economic analysis. Using the thinking of Slavoj Žižek, while still engaging with mainstream economic literature, the book provides a genuinely philosophical theory of money. This theory is unfolded in reflections on the nature of monetary phenomenon such as financial markets, banks, debt, credit, derivatives, gold, risk, value, price, interests, and arbitrage. The analysis of money is put into an historical context by suggesting that the current financial turbulence and debt crisis are symptoms that we live in the age of post-credit capitalism. By bridging the fields of economics and contemporary philosophy, Bjerg’s work engages in a productive form of intellectual arbitrage.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 钱是什么？钱从哪里来？如今谁在为我们制钱？现下在经济危机的状况下，我们该如何理解经济本身呢？

在《制钱》中，奥•博格将这些问题从经济分析转换到了哲学层面。作者融合了斯拉沃克•齐泽科的理论和主流的经济文学，《制钱》以哲学的角度完美阐述了有关于金钱的哲学理论。这个理论是由对货币现象的思考而展开的，这些现象包括金融市场，银行，债务，货款，派生物，黄金，风险，货值，价值，利息和套利等。作者以历史的角度对金钱的概念进行了分析，当前的金融动荡和债务危机证明了我们生存在一个后信贷资本主义时代。连接起经济领域和现代哲学，博格的这部作品为读者们提供了许多智力套利的方法。（XAT）

Awards/获奖情况：“《制钱》将哲学，经济和拉康精神分析相结合，带领读者穿越经济的迷宫。我们当今生活的时代是个疯狂的时代，这种疯狂的程度就像我们在科学小说中发现外星人就在我们身边并控制着我们一样。”——斯拉沃克•齐泽科

“奥•博格以哲学的角度揭示了我们称之为金钱的现象。这本书应该是所有经济学家，银行家，公务员，政客的必读书籍，而自从2008年经济危机后，我们市民自己也应该学会应对金钱和银行系统的各种问题。”——托尼•格林汉姆，新经济基金会金融和商业部门主席，《钱从哪里来》的合著作者

‘With its explosive combination of philosophy, economics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Bjerg’s book provides an absolutely indis-pensable guide through the labyrinth of economics. It makes us fully aware of thecrazy world we live in. It is a kind of theor-etical equivalent of a science fiction filmin which we discover that aliens are already among us and are controlling us.’ --Slavoj Žižek

‘Ole Bjerg provides us with a brilliant philo-sophical examination of this phenomenon that we call “money” … This book should be onthe reading list of all economists, bankers, civil servants, politicians and, most importantly, of all citizens if we are to stand any chance of overcoming the deep dysfunctions of themoney and banking system that were drama-tically revealed by their near collapse in 2008.’ --Tony Greenham, Head of Finance and Business at New Economics Foundation and co-author of Where Does Money Come From?
