This book explores the relationship between global capitalism and
Buddhism-both how this economic system has facilitated the spread
of Buddhism, and how it impacts Buddhists and Buddhism today.
Edited by two leading scholars in Buddhist studies, the book
examines how capitalism and neo-liberalism have shaped global
perceptions of Buddhism, as well as specific local practices and
attitudes. It analyzes the institutional practices that sustained
the spread of Buddhism for two-and-a half millennia, and the
adaptation of Buddhist institutions in contemporary, global
economic systems-particularly in Europe and the United States over
the last century. Innovative chapters on the interfaces between
Buddhism and capitalism will prompt readers to rethink the
connection between Buddhism and secular society. Case studies
include digital capitalism, tourism, and monasticism, and are drawn
from the USA, Tibet, China, Japan, and Thailand.
