Abstract:

Haunting the Knowledge Economy provokes 'conversations' between the knowledge economy and those marginalised economies that haunt it: the risk, gift, libidinal and survival economies. These illuminate the knowledge economy's shortcomings and point to alternative possible systems of exchange and sets of values. This multi-discciplinary study takes the knowledge economy out of the hands of economists and brings it into creative tension with the ideas of key thinkers from sociology, anthropology, philosophy and ecology.
