Abstract
abstract:
This paper reads Tash Aw's Shanghai-set Five Star Billionaire (2014) as a novel that provides an alternative theory of global finance than the standard model that takes Wall Street as its blueprint. Rather than the abstract techno-futurity typically associated with finance in Anglo-American literature, Aw's novel shows that contemporary finance in Shanghai is a form of capital created and experienced through nostalgia.
