![]() ![]() Including essays on writers such as Mohsin Hamid, Lorrie Moore, Jess Walter, J. Ranging across fiction, nonfiction, television, and film, the essays collected here explore to what extent realism is equipped to comprehend and historicize our contemporary economic moment and what might be the influence or complicity of the literary in shaping the global politics of lowered expectations. Even as critics have sought to locate a new aesthetic mode that might consider and move beyond theorizations of the postmodern, this volume contends that narrative realism demands renewed scrutiny for its ability to represent capitalism’s latest scenes of enclosure and indebtedness. Reading Capitalist Realism presents some of the latest and most sophisticated approaches to the question of the relation between capitalism and narrative form, partly by questioning how the “realism” of austerity, privatization, and wealth protection relate to the realism of narrative and cultural production. Anxieties over who controls capitalism have thus been translated into demands upon literature, art, and mass media to develop strategies of representation that can account for capitalism’s power. As the world has been reshaped since the 1970s by economic globalization, neoliberalism, and financialization, writers and artists have addressed the problem of representing the economy with a new sense of political urgency. ![]()

In 1950, Joseph McCarthy's Communist hunt touched the Lattimore family when he indicted Owen for being one of the USSR's top spies charges were dismissed after a valiant self-defense in the Senate, however, and Owenmay have come up with the term "McCarthyism," though many sources credit the political cartoonist, Herbert Block. ![]() ![]() Owen Lattimore (1900-1989) was one of the United States' most distinguished Sinologists of the 20th century and director of The Johns Hopkins University's Page School of International Relations.
