Weedy Finance: Weather Insurance and Parametric Life on Unstable Grounds	2021		.htm	text/html	11494	592	51	The purpose of this article is to develop an account of how Paraguayan practices of weed management engage financial forms and to show how weediness (rather than crops) marks out the grounds through which weather insurance becomes imbued with value. What intrigues me about how weediness registers within financial practices such as weather insurance is how it triggers an inversion of expected sources of value and profit.	cache/ca-4869.htm	txt/ca-4869.txt
