Summary This volume analyses the language that ordinary people employ when discussing money, debt and financial behaviour. It documents and critiques this language from an array of disciplinary perspectives, with chapters on children's books, government infomercials, television poverty porn, the emotional experience of being indebted and more. In doing so, it addresses common underlying questions concerning definitions of money and value and scrutinises how people construct, negotiate and articulate meaning in these domains.
