In this volume leading international scholars elaborate upon the
central issues of the analysis of ideology: the nature of dominant
ideologies. The ways in which ideologies are transmitted; their
effects on dominant and subordinate social classes in different
societies; the contrast between individualistic and collectivist
belief systems; and the diversity of cultural forms that coexist
within the capitalist form of economic organization. This book is
distinctive in its empirical and comparative approach to the study
of the economic and cultural basis of social order, and in the wide
range of societies that it covers. Japan, Germany and the USA
constitute the core of the modern global economy, and have widely
differing historical roots and cultural traditions. Argentina and
Australia are white settler societies on the periphery of the
capitalist world-system and as a result have certain common
features, that are cut across in turn by social and political
developments peculiar to each. Britain after a decade of
Thatcherism is an interesting test of the efficacy of an
ideological project designed to change the cultural values of a
population. Poland shows the limitations of the imposition of a
state socialist ideology, and the cultural complexities that
result.
