Discounting the Future: The Ascendancy of a Political Technology
CSF Reading Group with Liliana Doganovas.
The Centre for Sustainable Futures invites researchers and students at UCPH Humanities, as well as other interested parties, to join our reading group. We will read the book "Discounting the Future: The Ascendancy of a Political Technology" (2024) by Liliana Doganovas.
Liliana Doganova is an Associate Professor at the Centre de sociologie de l’innovation, Mines-ParisTech, PSL University. At the intersection of economic sociology and Science and Technology Studies, her work has focused on business models, the valorization of public research and markets for bio- and clean-technologies.
Her latest book, Discounting the Future: The Ascendancy of a Political Technology, explores the links between valuation and temporality through a historical sociology of the technique of discounting the future.
Please note: If you want to order a copy of the book, we suggest that you do it as soon as possible, as delivery time is up to a couple of weeks at most bookstores.
The book is also available online through Rex.
