A major contribution to this discussion, \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Money\u003c\/i\u003e advances the development of a feminist perspective on finance as a force that is shaping women's social condition even as it shapes the economy.\"—Silvia Federici, Professor Emerita, Hofstra University, and author of \u003ci\u003eCaliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation\u003c\/i\u003e \"As you open this book, you will find that its pages unfold on many levels. On one level, \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Money\u003c\/i\u003e tells a gripping story about money and its place in today's Anglo-American capitalism. On another level, it is also a book about time itself and the multiple temporalities of our financialized lives. But perhaps most significantly, it is a sustained and compelling analysis of the logic of speculation that subtends so much of contemporary capitalism, one that is bound to compel the interest of readers across disciplines. Adkins's book also has the merit of attending to the distinctly political and gendered dimensions of financialization, which is but one of its many virtues.\"—Ivan Ascher, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Portfolio Society\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Time of Money\u003c\/i\u003e offers a powerful account of the damage created by the time of money, not least by making visible the emerging temporal experiences we miss when we limit our attention to the passing of the old.\"—Jane Elliot, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeculation is often associated with financial practices, but \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Money\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case that it not be restricted to the financial sphere. It argues that the expansion of finance has created a distinctive social world, one that demands a speculative stance toward life in general. Replacing a logic of extraction, speculation changes our relationship to time and organizes our social worlds to maximize the productive capacities of populations around flows of money for finance capital. Speculative practices have become a matter of survival, and defining features of our age are hardwired to their operations—stagnant wages, indebtedness, the centrality of women's earnings to the household, workfarism, and more. Examining five features of our contemporary economy, Lisa Adkins reveals the operations of this speculative rationality. Moving beyond claims that indebtedness is intrinsic to contemporary life and vague declarations that the social world has become financialized, Adkins delivers a precise examination of the relation between finance and society, one that is rich in empirical and analytical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e  1.
