FROM WALL STREET TO MAIN STREET - JUDITH SCHULZ...

Since the financial crisis cannot be explained by looking at the 'numbers' alone  Judith Schulz
investigates the diverse facets of the economic system  including the emotional response and
motivations of the actors. It is precisely in this context that fiction can fill in the gaps in
the understanding of the financial crisis and its cultural context. Schulz analyses works of
Don DeLillo  Jess Walter and Martha McPhee to explore the complex and multifaceted interaction
between culture and the economy. These authors shed light on the impact of neoliberal economic
policies and create a dialogue on the highly controversial questions related to the financial
crisis. They point to the contradictions and paradoxes within American culture and show that
there is a need to renegotiate issues of national identity and the American Dream.
