Once relatively confined to parts of Europe and North America,
commercial societies are now found in many other cultures and
continents. Yet despite the international spread and growth of
commercial order, the moral, economic, and legal foundations of
commercial society remain poorly understood, especially in those
countries where it first took root. Guided by the thoughts of
Alexis de Tocqueville, Samuel Gregg's The Commercial Society
identifies and explores the key foundational elements that must
exist within a society for commercial order to take root and
flourish. Gregg studies the challenges that have consistently
impeded and occasionally undermined commercial order, including the
persistence of "corporatist" values and political movements seeking
to equalize social conditions. This book offers a
historically-grounded analysis for modern audiences interested in
philosophy or the history of economics.
