lt;p>The contributions to this volume focus on contemporary cinematic productions, literary works and testimonies of popular culture in Western Societies telling of a very present triangulation: money and crime in times of neoliberalism.
lt;p>What do druglords, corrupt politicians, failed states and distopias, mental disorders, scamming practices and feminism have in common? They all are actors and products of the complex intersections between money and crime that not only permeate our daily lives, but also produce worlds and narratives within their respective cultural products. From Hollywood dystopias to Netflix and TV series about Wall Street and Brazilian and Mexican politics, to fetishism and conspiracy to mental disorders in the workplace, the contributions to this volume explore the complex relations of neoliberalism and crime. The main objective of the publication is to examine such cultural and medial productions in order to differentiate the discourse about them and to enable a concrete picture of the underlying constituents.
