Note:"In the wake of the financial crisis, things feel pretty bleak. This book shows how moods shape our experience, which feelings and thoughts suggest themselves to us and which are excluded. Though vague and ephemeral, collective moods are crucial in determining our attitudes and identities, encouraging the political action we see around us today"-- Provided by publisher.
