The ambiguity of the title is not just a rhetorical flourish, says Esposito (U. di Modena, Italy) but a reflection of the ambiguity of the phenomena she analyzes. Considering the state and
prospects of derivatives, contracts in the financial sector that deal in real time with prices in the future, she looks in turn at the time of money, the time of finance, and the time of the
financial crisis. Among her topics are needs and scarcity, financial markets, derivatives, trading uncertainty, and the evolution and regulation of the crisis. With help from Andrew K.
Whitehead, she herself translated Il futuro de futures: Il tempo del denaro nella finanza el nella societ�, published by Edizioni ETS, Pisa, in 2009. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland,
