FINANCE: TALES OF EXPERIMENT AND DEFIANCE, A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL OF CULTURAL ECONOMY, PUBLISHED IN 2022, VOL. 15 (1)

This special issue addresses a series of post-2008 financial developments by mobilising the concept of the tale, understood as a discursive artefact composed of a meaningful story or script that serves to separate good from evil, make sense of historical situations, stimulate action, and prefigure scenarios. The stories gathered in this special issue represent a variety of case studies from Europe (the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, UK, EU, Serbia), North America (the US), and Asia (India). Their subjects range across post-2008 central banking, digital money and banking, climate finance, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies. This collection is intended to illustrate our approach to the tale as a political story that draws on a series of semiotic and pragmatic elements
