Frederic Heine joins Money on the Left to discuss his recent essay, \\u201cPerforming Hard Money: Monetary Policy, Metaphor and Masculinity in the Making of EMU,\\u201d published this summer in the Journal of Cultural Economy. Heine is a university assistant at the Institute for Women\\u2019s and Gender Studies at Johannes Kepler University, Linz. In his essay, Heine analyzes the cluster of masculine metaphors that ground\\xa0 and mobilize the European Monetary Union\\u2019s hard-line opposition to soft money politics. At the time of this episode\\u2019s publishing in early September 2022, what Heine classifies as the masculine performative agency of EMU leaders can be seen all over Europe, with Macron decrying the end of abundance and the ECB signaling a coming period of sacrifice across the Eurozone. We speak with Heine about this essay as well as his broader inquiry into the intersections of gender, global finance, and political economy.
