Capitalism and Religion

Our global ecological crisis demands that we question the rationality of the culture that has caused it: western modernity's free market capitalism. Philip Goodchild develops arguments from Nietzsche Adorno Horkheimer and Marx to suggest that our love of Western modernity is an expression of a piety in which capitalism becomes a global religion in practice if not always in belief. This book presents a philosophical alternative that demands attention from philosophers critical theorists philosophers of religion theologians and those in ecological politics.
