"Over the past decade, Laos' exposure to global capitalism has resulted in extensive
economic and social transformations. This book pursues the theoretical aim of shedding
light on the old question raised by Max Weber about the relation between capitalism,
ethos and society. The empirical study consists of a description of the social structures,
their embodiment in the habitus and world-views in Laos against the background of
a critical revision of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology. To achieve these aims, the author
develops a qualitative methodology as neither Weber nor Bourdieu explained how to
empirically study habitus and ethos. The empirical material for the book was gathered
over a period of more than five years and comprises several hundred life-course interviews
in all sections of Lao society as well as a representative quantitative survey. The
author argues that precapitalist social structures persist and continue to shape the
social fabric of contemporary Laos. At the same time, they are transformed by global
and local capitalism. The book shows how the hierarchies contained in each structure
shape the habitus of the Lao population and how these in turn influence the development
of a capitalist and a religious ethos. The argument makes use of Pierre Bourdieu's
sociology and adapts it to the setting of Laos by introducing new as well as indigenous
concepts"
