Market Affect and the Rhetoric of Political Economic Debates

About the author

Catherine Chaput is an associate professor of English at the University of Nevada, Reno. With M. J. Braun and Danika M. Brown, she coedited the anthology Entertaining Fear: Rhetoric and the Political Economy of Social Control.

Summary

Overwhelmingly theories regarding capitalism's resilience have focused on individual choice bolstered by careful rhetorical argumentation. In this study, however, Catherine Chaput shows that something more than choice is at work in capitalism's ability to thrive in public practice and imagination - that "something", she contends, is market affect.
