The book explores the interplay between financial metaphors and sexual psychology, tracing the evolution of the concept from Enlightenment ideas that likened the mind-body relationship to an 'animal economy.' It examines how desire is conceptualized as a liquid energy that can be managed like currency—whether saved, spent, or invested—highlighting the profound impact of these metaphors on understanding human sexuality.
