Product Information
Far from displacing religions, as has been supposed, capitalism became one, with money as its deity. Eugene McCarraher reveals how mammon ensnared us and how we can find a more humane, sacramental way of being in the world. If socialists and Wall Street bankers can agree on anything, it is the extreme rationalism of capital. At least since Max Weber, capitalism has been understood as part of the "disenchantment" of the world, stripping material objects and social relationships of their mystery and sacredness. Ignoring the motive force of the spirit, capitalism rejects the awe-inspiring divine for the economics of supply and demand. Eugene McCarraher challenges this conventional view. Capitalism, he argues, is full of sacrament, whether or not it is acknowledged. Capitalist enchantment first flowered in the fields and factories of England and was brought to America by Puritans and evangelicals whose doctrine made ample room for industry and profit. Later, the corporation was mystically animated with human personhood, to preside over the Fordist endeavor to build a heavenly city of mechanized production and communion. By the twenty-first century, capitalism has become thoroughly enchanted by the neoliberal deification of "the market." Informed by cultural history and theology as well as economics, management theory, and marketing, The Enchantments of Mammon looks not to Marx and progressivism but to nineteenth-century Romantics for salvation. The Romantic imagination favors craft, the commons, and sensitivity to natural wonder. It promotes labor that, for the sake of the person, combines reason, creativity, and mutual aid. In this impassioned challenge, McCarraher makes the case that capitalism has hijacked and redirected our intrinsic longing for divinity--and urges us to break its hold on our souls.

Reviews
The Enchantments of Mammon is truly a game changer. We will never look at modern capitalism in quite the same way again., Extraordinary...Like MacIntyre, McCarraher both recognizes and detests capitalism's spoliations of creation and disintegration of communities, and casts a fond, forlorn eye toward the possibility of restoring a rationality of genuine human life...A majestic achievement. It will enjoy a long posterity...It is a work of great moral and spiritual intelligence, and one that invites contemplation about things we can't afford not to care about deeply., A vigorous intellectual history that challenges conventional social-science assumptions about the modern world., McCarraher's book is more brilliant, more capacious, and more entertaining, page by page, than his most ardent fans dared hope. The magnitude of his accomplishment--an account of American capitalism as a religion that begins in early modernity and extends to the present, an analysis that goes far beyond the loose versions of this argument we've seen before (Economists are like clergy! The Fed is like a church!) and rewrites American intellectual history as it does so--will stun even skeptical readers...It is a wonder, an enchantment on a world that has so forgotten itself as to think enchantments rare., A magnificent work of historical scholarship, a thorough account of the rise of capitalism in the modern age. And yet it is not an economics tome, or even really a history, but rather a treatise on religion and the values that pervade society. It is also full of moral insights, with stinging critiques of a worldview that reduces human experience to opportunities for exchange...Highly readable., A thoughtful, beautifully written book, tracing the ways in which the values of capitalism--greed, productivity, competition, selfishness--became confounded with notions of divinity, and of God's plan for and involvement in the lives of the divinity's alleged favorite creation...Helps explain the hegemony of capitalist ideas in societies where religion is important even when the material interests of the working class ought clearly to expose the depravity and, for the religiously-minded, the ungodliness, of capitalism as actually practiced., [A] monumental labor of love...There have been marvelous studies of contemporary capitalism published in recent years...But this is an extraordinary work of intellectual history as well as a scholarly tour de force, a bracing polemic, and a work of Christian prophecy...It is beautifully written and a magnificent read...McCarraher challenges more than 200 years of post-Enlightenment assumptions about the way we live and work...This mammoth portrait of the religious longings at the heart of secular materialism carries a bleak message: 20th-century fantasies of the world as one global business have been realized...Refreshingly original and splendidly pulled off., A beguiling 800-page tour de force...[A] sweeping history...The author claims, with considerable evidence, that capitalism, too, is a form of worship, that it is a religion of modernity...Scintillating., One of the most impressive books I've ever read...The depth and range of McCarraher's scholarship are incredible...A must-read for anyone serious about the mesmerizing power of capitalism., Ranging over the history of capitalism from 17th-century England to the mid-20th-century United States, McCarraher argues in this magisterial work that capitalism is a corruption of the sacramental nature of the world and our desire to flourish within it. The keenest insights and best hopes for a more humane world reside not within secular traditions but within the Romantic lineage of joy and participation. The Enchantments of Mammon is a towering achievement: an exquisitely crafted refusal of the metaphysics of the free market and reassurance that the conditions of human flourishing are well within our reach., A vitally important book...It could have an impact similar to Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue ...Certainly it is a book people concerned about the state of the world and moral theology should be aware of...McCarraher...explains how capitalism has become the religion of the modern world...This detailed account of the idolatries of our age deserves wide readership and detailed examination., Surveying the history of capitalism from seventeenth-century England to the mid-twentieth-century United States, McCarraher argues in this magisterial work that capitalism is a corruption of the sacramental nature of the world and our desire to flourish within it. The keenest insights and best hopes for a more humane world reside not within secular traditions but within the Romantic lineage of joy and participation. The Enchantments of Mammon is a towering achievement: an exquisitely crafted refusal of the metaphysics of the free market and reassurance that the conditions of human flourishing are well within our reach.
