Description: Enchantments of Mammon : How Capitalism Became the Religion of Modernity, Hardcover by McCarraher, Eugene, ISBN 0674984617, ISBN-13 9780674984615, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Conventional wisdom holds that capitalism-along with other rational elements of modern society like science, medicine, and democracy-has disenchanted the world, emptied it of its superstition and magic, but McCarraher disagrees. Capitalism is full of sacrament, he argues, capitalist enchantment first flowered in the fields and factories of England and was brought to America by Puritans and evangelicals whose doctrine made ample room for industry and profit. By the 21st century, he says, capitalism has become thoroughly enchanted by the neoliberal deification of the market. Combining cultural history, theology, economics, management theory, and marketing, he looks not to Marx and progress politics for relief, but to the 19th-century Romantics with their emphasis on craft, the commons, and sensitivity to natural wonder.
