Challenging a long tradition that reads the eighteenth century in terms of individualism, atomization, abstraction, and the hegemony of market-based thinking, this study emphasizes the importance of interest as an idiom for thinking about concrete social ties, at court and in families, universities, theatres, boroughs, churches, and beyond.
