Abstract

This study is concerned with two main questions: how to enable a dialogue between the financial sector and the American civil society and how to represent the unrepresentable, i.e. virtual money. Cosmopolis employs the analogy between money and art to illustrate the changes in the nature of money and the economy as a result of the ‘information age’ – an idea that is further developed in Martha McPhee’s novel, Dear Money.
