The air we breathe, the dogs with whom we cohabit, the children we breed, and the pharmaceuticals we regulate all co-evolve as life forms, life sciences, and life circumstances are differentially capitalized. These essays convince us that Lively Capital , is, indeed, a living social form, and they provide a stunningly provocative read! --Rayna Rapp, author of Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America

Rayna Rapp, author of Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America ""Lively Capital is a terrific collection of essays, an important endeavour which will garner serious attention not only in anthropology and science technology studies but across the human sciences. It will be as widely read as any anthology I can imagine, because of the sharpness of its essays and the diversity of its approaches to the challenges of rethinking the relations of life, capital, and value more generally."" Lawrence Cohen, author of No Aging in India: Alzheimer's, the Bad Family, and Other Modern Things
