#Debt: #Ethics, the #Environment and the #Economy explores the concept of #indebtedness in its various senses and from a range of perspectives: philosophical, political, anthropological and literary. From personal #finance and consumer spending to ballooning national expenditures on warfare and social #welfare, debt is fundamental to the dynamics of global capitalism. This timely and broad volume, adited by Peter Y. Paik and Merry Wiesner-Hanks (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), observes that many views of ethics, citizenship, and governance are based on a conception of debts owed by one individual to others; that artistic and literary creativity involves the artist’s dialogue with the works of the past; and that the specter of catastrophic climate change has underscored the debt those living in the present owe to future generations. This book is a original attempt to reformulate the significant narrative of debt in our times and its historical emergence. iupress.indiana.edu/product_info.php?products_id=806919 >> Dont want to miss our posts?!
