To those of you interested and near the U of Chicago

"Please join the Money and Markets Workshop for a specialsession, Friday, May 2, as we welcome Viviana Zelizer,professor from Princeton University, delivering a paper on'circuits of capital.' Please note that we will meet in Cobb107 for this unusually scheduled session."

Awesome.

Zelizer wrote an influential (to me and to various fields in the social science) book on the historical emergence of Modern American Childhood called Pricing the Priceless Child, and another book called the Purchase of Intimacy which, among other arguments, productively challenges our idea that money invariably poisons intimate relationships.
