'The Hidden Form of Capital' presents evidence from several parts
of the changing world about how the realm of the spirit affects the
economy. The idea that societies have economic cultures as well as
aesthetic, literary, and artistic cultures is well-embedded in a
number of major studies attempting to identify the origins of
national wealth and progress. This book provides an original
contribution to the debate, by discussing the relationship between
religion and the economy not via further theoretical speculation,
but through the presentation of analytical evidence from real-life
case studies in Europe, Asia, Africa, Russia, and the United
States. There is currently a major re-assessment of assumptions
about the foundations of societal progress, as the market
rationality model is exposed for its moral weaknesses. The
emergence of socio-economics as a scholarly field, as well as the
embracing of complexity theory and the societal effect in economic
analysis, brings the question of cultural effects to the forefront.
This collection of studies offers more practical and tangible
evidence, especially unique and useful for its comparative aspect.
The book skilfully combines this comparative and descriptive
character with an accessible writing style intended for a wide
audience.
