* An original contribution to the urgent debates taking place on banking sparked by the current economic crisis
* Offers a unique perspective on the geographical and social concept of 'placement' of the banking industry
* Combines theoretical approaches from political economy with contemporary literature on the performativity of economics
* Details the globalization of Western banking, and analyzes how representations of the banking sector's productiveness have shifted throughout the evolution of Western economic theory
* Analyzes the social conceptualization of the nature - and value - of the banking industry
* Illuminates not only how economic ideas 'perform' and shape the economic world, but how those ideas are themselves always products of particular economic realities
