Mapping Monetary Networks

Examining Bristol as a case study, Mapping Monetary Networks explores the complex relationship between money, space and place.

Written by experts in the field, the book makes substantial original theoretical claims, arguing that financial services are made up of multiple monetary networks and communities of practice, which vary in their relative intensity, geographical reach and social power. These networks and communities are revealed to be both locally rich and globally extensive and to overlap and intersect with one another as they unfold and reproduce themselves within place and over space.

Providing a critical theoretical context for the analysis of monetary networks and communities, this original work is an important addition to the Regions and Cities Series.
