Over the last 20 years, the concept of 'economic' activity has
come to seem inseparable from psychological, semiotic and
ideological experiences. In fact, the notion of the 'economy' as
a discrete area of life seems increasingly implausible. This
returns us to the situation of Shakespeare's England, where the
financial had yet to be differentiated from other forms of
representation. This book shows how concepts and concerns that
were until recently considered purely economic affected the
entire range of sixteenth and seventeenth century life.
