| description | In this rejoinder, I discuss three fundamental deadlocks raised by contributors
to this forum. These relate to the status of historical discourse, financial
market logics, and above all the figure of the ‘strange loop’, which I put
forward as a means of reorienting historical thought. I also offer some
preliminary remarks on why History in Financial Times departs from conventional
forms of historicism in political economy, as well as a further set of
reflections on the contemporaneity of the book's argumentation. |
