Rough Economies
By:Stephen Deng
Published on 2006 by

In this dissertation I examine the relation between money and the state in early modern English literature, paying attention to both the material and representational circulation of money. While quantitatively supporting a burgeoning market economy as economic lubricant, money embodied personae--or multivalent, interpretable |faces|--For state authority that permitted negotiation between state and subject. Critics have tended to focus on money's functions in the invisible realm of economic power, as the latent principal component in the flow of capital, but money is also the first propagandistic product of mechanical reproduction: an instrument of state as well as economy. Moreover, while in some cases money may be used in the interpellation of subjects, its malleability permits negotiability: coins and monetary representation could be used in ways unintended by the state. This process of disruption and negotiation implies that uses and meanings of money were not always fluid, and the contingency of |rough economies| should be taken into consideration within the history of money.
