Why are people continually surprised to discover that money is "just" meaning? This title documents efforts to remake money and finance by Islamic bankers who seek to avoid interest and local currency proponents who would stand outside of national economies. It asks how alternative moneys escape and reenact dominant forms of money and finance.
