Concerned with the origins of capitalism and the conditions that accompanied its birth, this work argues that capitalism is more than an economic system: it is a culture that affects not just the material but also the social, familial and even spiritual bases of existence.
The Culture of Capitalism explores original perspectives on capitalist society.

  • Argues that capitalism is more than an economic system, but is a culture that affects social, material, and even spiritual bases of existence
  • Draws on research generated by detailed historical community studies as well as literature on non-western societies
  • Explores the nature of evil, attitudes toward love and family, population change, violence, and more
  • Questions the origin and cause of capitalist ideology
