Abstract

This article reads the ambivalence of the doubles that populate Martin Amis' novel Money through the doubles that money itself possesses: specifically the divergence between what have come to be thought of as financial and industrial forms of capital. The form of Amis' novel, I suggest, offers itself as a metaphorical critique of these divided forms, one that seeks to interrupt the deferred logic that has constructed what he has described as money's ‘tacit conspiracy’. Amis's novel can thus be read as an intervention in the very logic that has prevented the disastrous implications of finance capitalism's ascendancy from being realised
