Pathology of the capitalist spirit
an essay on greed, loss and hope /[electronic resource] :David Levine. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.
Includes bibliographical references.
Capital -- The Disease of the Infinite -- The Spirit of Capitalism -- Creative Destruction -- Political Consequences.
Capital represents our dissatisfaction with the world we live in, what we have and what we don't have, and is therefore hope and desire embodied. "Pathology of the Capitalist Spirit" is about capital and about the economic system that bears its name. In this humanist look at capitalism, Levine explores the meaning of capital as a social reality connected to fundamental human aspirations. The link between capital and the pursuit of a hoped-for state is especially important in light of the stubborn insistence on the part of its critics that capitalism exists to serve the material interests of those whose vocation is to own capital. This misunderstanding ignores what is essential about capital, which is its link not to interests but to hope, especially the hope that by accumulating capital the individual can achieve an attachment to the good. It is this hope that blocks tolerance of any notion that there is something unfair in the capitalist's acquisition of wealth and that fairness can be achieved through its redistribution to others. It is also this hope that animates the capitalist system as a whole. And in that sense, this hope is the spirit of capitalism. To develop this theme, Levine calls on the ideas and writings of major theorists involved with understanding modernity and capitalism: Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and Joseph Schumpeter.
