"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."--Publisher's
