This original analysis of modern Greece's political culture
attempts to present a "total social fact"-a coherent and complex
representation of Greek socio-political culture-to identify the
cultural causes of Greece's recent disastrous economic crisis.
Using a culturalist frame inspired by the Yale Strong Program,
Marangudakis argues that the core cultural orientations of Greece
have determined its politics-Greek secular culture flows out of the
religion of Eastern Orthodoxy with its mysticism, icons, and
general "ortherworldly-nesses." This theoretical discussion,
bringing together Eisenstadt, Michael Mann, Banfield, and Taylor,
is complemented by an innovative use of survey data, processed by
political scientist and statistician Theodore Chadjipadelis. The
carefully deployed quantitative data demonstrate that the culture
previously described is actually shared by people living in Greece
today. In his sweeping conclusion to this thorough cultural
analysis, Marangudakis reflects on the prospects of Greek cultural
recovery through the construction of a non-populist civil religion.
