This sub-theme considers the role of money, exchange, and investment in contemporary capitalism and in the transition to post-growth futures. We invite submissions that analyze financial institutions, money creation, alternative currencies, and the emergence and articulation of plural values. We encourage exploration of the philosophy and ontology of money in modern and non-modern economies, and how an ecological economy might create, distribute, and think about value. We also welcome interventions that explore discursive shifts towards a “green economy” and what this entails for whom.
