Berkeley broke the conceptual link between money  and metallic substance in \u003cem\u003eThe Querist\u003c\/em\u003e, a work published between  1735 and 1737 in Dublin, consisting entirely of questions. \u003cem\u003eExciting  the Industry\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eof Mankind\u003c\/em\u003e explains what economic and social  forces caused Berkeley to write \u003cem\u003eThe Querist\u003c\/em\u003e in response to a  major economic crisis in Ireland. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eExciting the Industry of Mankind\u003c\/em\u003e falsifies the view that  Berkeley has nothing to tell us about our present and future social  and economic life. For the `idealism' Berkeley found in the money form  is now becoming a fact of global economic life, when `xenomoney' and  `virtual money' exchanges begin to dwarf commodity transactions, and  the future becomes the dominant temporal dimension of economic  activity. \u003cbr\u003e  Philosophers, historians, cultural theorists, economists and lovers of  Irish history will be interested in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048154531\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9522-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 446.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358985842828,"sku":"9789048154531","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048154531_ef0719df-5e62-47ad-a268-a42a0f34e8c9.jpg?v=1765470634","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048154531","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
