By the early twenty-first century, Americans had embraced a holistic vision of work,
that one's job should be imbued with meaning and purpose, that business should serve
not only stockholders but also the common good, and that, for many, should attend
to the "spiritual" health of individuals and society alike. While many voices celebrate
efforts to introduce "spirituality in the workplace" as a recent innovation that holds
the potential to positively transform business and the American workplace, James Dennis
LoRusso argues that workplace spirituality is in fact more closely aligned with neoliberal
ideologies that serve the interests of private wealth and undermine the power of working
people. LoRusso traces how this new moral language of business emerged as part of
the larger shift away from the post-New Deal welfare state towards today's global
market-oriented social order. Building on other studies that emphasize the link between
American religious conservatism and the rise of global capitalism, LoRusso shows how
progressive "spirituality" remains a vital part of this story as well.0Drawing on
cultural history as well as case studies from New York City and San Francisco of businesses
and leading advocates of workplace spirituality, this book argues that that religion
reveals much about work, corporate culture, and business in contemporary America
