Rise of the Rentier: France and the Making of Financial Modernity<\/em> is an AHRC-funded research project<\/a> on the culture and politics of mass investment in modern France. From the nineteenth century, financial markets became integral to everyday lives and imagined futures. Interdisciplinary research by historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and literary critics has given us a fulsome understanding of these markets, one that extends beyond prices and transactions to appraise their intellectual, aesthetic, and performative elements. But much remains to be understood about finance\u2019s political and cultural influence. By focusing on France, a country that pioneered techniques of the modern mass investor society, this project recaptures processes, sites, and agents through which ordinary people became entangled in \u2013 and helped build \u2013 systems of global finance.<\/p>\n
