In a shift that naturalized this artifice, this critique of fictitious capital virtually disappeared by the 1860's, replaced by notions of fickle investor psychology and mental equilibrium encapsulated in the fascinating metaphor of ?psychic economy. ?In close rhetorical readings of financial journalism, political economy, and the works of Dickens, Eliot, and Trollope, Kornbluh examines the psychological framing of economics, one of the nineteenth century?s most enduring legacies, reminding us that the current dominant paradigm for understanding financial crisis has a history of its own. She shows how novels illuminate this displacement and ironize ideological metaphors linking psychology and economics, thus demonstrating literature?s unique facility for evaluating ideas in process. Inheritors of this novelistic project, Marx and Freud each advance a critique of psychic economy that refuses to naturalize capitalism. 606 $aEconomics and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEconomics$xPsychological aspects$zEngland 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFinance in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aMarx. 610 $aMarxism. 610 $aPsychic Economy. 610 $aPsychoanalysis. 610 $acrisis. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $afinance. 610 $afreud. 610 $anovel. 610 $arealism. 610 $atheory. 610 $avictorian. 615 0$aEconomics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEconomics$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFinance in literature. 676 $a820.9/3553 686 $aHL 1091$2rvk 700 $aKornbluh$b Anna$01048361 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463053003321 996 $aRealizing capital$92476613 997 $aUNINA
