These essays demonstrate how fiction fulfills a major function of the American capitalist engine, presenting various formulations of American capitalism from the perspective of economists, social scientists, and literary critics. Focusing on three narratives?fictitious capital, working fictions, and the economic novel?the volume questions whether these three types of fiction can be linked under the sign of capitalism. This collection seeks to illustrate the American economy?s dependence on fictitiousness, America?s ideological fictions, and the nation?s creative literary fiction. In relation to what the credit and banking crisis of 2007?2008 exposed about the ?unreal? base of the economy, the volume concludes with a call to recognize the economic humanities, arguing that American fiction and American literary studies can provide a useful mirror for economists. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Culture and Economics 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aAmerica?Literatures 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aFiction 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aFinance?History 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 606 $aNorth American Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aFinancial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/617000 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 0$aAmerica?Literatures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aFinance?History. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aFiction. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aFinancial History. 676 $a813.009 702 $aCoste$b Jacques-Henri$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDussol$b Vincent$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484567703321 996 $aThe Fictions of American Capitalism$92073396 997 $aUNINA
