Abstract
Our next site for investigating the conditions of the idea of finance in modern socioeconomies is the operations of faith. The work of faith or trust in the marketplace is a site for the production of truths about finance capital. We will examine this third condition of finance by analyzing the influence of the logic of finance on religious believers as faith in God coincides with faith in return on investment. This approach of deciphering and discerning the power of the idea of finance by studying its operations in one of its key constituencies is consistent with what we did in chapter 3. We studied the second condition of finance, which is praxis, by focusing on how actors on Wall Street dealt with the practical issues of moral hazards. In this chapter, we will investigate the third condition by examining how ordinary men and women of religion deal with practical issues of expectation of economic returns from faith. We will draw our example from the wealth and health gospel of the worldwide Pentecostal movement.KeywordsFinance CapitalWealth AccumulationPublic RealmReligious BelieverProtestant EthicThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
