No 17/8, MPIfG Discussion Paper from Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies

Abstract: Capitalist dynamics is energized in part by imaginaries of future states of the world (Beckert 2016). The paper deals with two questions: Why do fictional expectations change in the course of capitalist development? And: Are fictional expectations becoming more important in contemporary capitalism?
