	Capitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Capitalism contrasts with feudalism, where a monarch holds both law-making power and the ability to claim ownership over the land rather than having to purchase it; the monarch loans the land to vassals in exchange for various services, and the vassals, in turn, use serfs to work the land.
		Capitalism as it exists in today's liberal democracies is said to be in opposition to planned economies, such as a command economy, where the economy is coordinated by the state.
		Capitalism is often contrasted to socialism in that besides embracing private property in terms of personal possessions, it supports private ownership of the means of production.

	Syllabus: 30 Theses
		Successful operation of the culture of capitalism compels that consumers be segregated or masked from the consequences of their lifestyles on the laborer, on the environment, and on the ways of life of those whose degradation makes such consumption possible.
		The specter of population growth is a scheme used in the culture of capitalism to shift the blame for global problems to their victims, and to obscure a greater cause, capitalism’s perpetual and uneven economic growth.
		The cultures of indigenous peoples are vulnerable to destruction from capitalist expansion, in part because their way of life differs greatly from that in the culture of capitalism.

	Culture of capitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Culture of Capitalism is a term used to refer to the lifestyle of the people living within a capitalist nation, or the international influence of such a nation on others.
		The concept is that the people within the society are driven by the rules set by their culture, and believe that these values, attitudes and aspirations are 'normal' for all people in the world.
		It is a culture that "would be ready to make many an intellectual or even moral concession in order to maintain that standard" (Siegfried 1928, quoted in Leach 1993:266).

	Talk History Forum - Theses On Capitalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The central roles in the culture of capitalism are the consumer, the laborer, and the capitalist, each operating according to a set of rules orchestrated and enforced by the nation-state.
		It is central to the successful operation of the culture of capitalism that the consumer be segregated or masked from the consequences of his or her lifestyle on the laborer, on the environment, and on the way of life of those whose degradation makes his or her life possible.
		Every culture or age has its characteristic illness and disease; for the culture of capitalism, characteristic diseases are those linked to poverty, hunger, and environmental devastation, and the increasing disparity in wealth between the rich and the poor.

	The Culture of Capitalism
		Capitalism is a necessary but not sufficient condition of democracy under current conditions.
		Intellectually, Berger is particularly close to Weber, with his nondogmatic and scholarly explorations of the relations between capitalism, culture, and political development.
		State capitalism occupies a position intermediary between socialism and capitalism, having neither a full-fledge command economy nor a completely free one, and may hence be thought of as a separate category.

	Late Capitalism and Culture Critique
		The terms for such an analysis of cultural crisis have generally not been available — have not yet been discovered and invented — and this is a crucial lack since, as Gramsci, for example, argues, the struggle for (political and ideological) hegemony takes place throughout civil society, i.e.
		The most significant aspects of culture are the modes of cooperation, the kinds of divisions of labor, and the forms of social organization into which individuals and social groups arrange themselves in meeting their needs, as well as the mechanisms established for facilitating these cooperative relations.
		Late capitalism is characterized by the collective organization of all aspects of culture, including those institutions (such as educational institutions) which were marginal in earlier periods of capitalist development.

	The Debate Resolutions

		Resolution II: Every culture or age has its characteristic illness and disease; for the culture of capitalism, characteristic diseases are those linked to poverty, hunger, and environmental devastation, and the increasing disparity in wealth between the rich and the poor.
		Resolution II: The cultures of indigenous peoples are vulnerable to destruction from capitalist expansion partially because their way of life differs so significantly from that in the culture of capitalism.

	Capitalism & Its Culture, Rethinking Mid-20th Century American Social Thought
		At the opening of the 21st century, the power and pervasiveness of American capitalism and of the equation that links open markets to democratic institutions has become so much the common wisdom of our existence that we define as irrational those who question these relationships and their worldwide cultural manifestations.
		Despite such self-assurance, it is clear that the relationship between market capitalism and its cultural context, on a national as well as global scale, is as uncertain and contested today as at any moment in the 20th century.
		Thus in the 1950s, many on the left were consumed in a furious debate over, and condemnation of, the "mass culture" that seemed such a rotten fruit of the economic success generated by postwar corporate capitalism.

	Understanding Capitalism Part IV: Capitalism, Culture and Society
		The impact of capitalism on culture and society has been a matter of great debate ever since its emergence in Europe as an economic system in the late 1700s.
		The impact of capitalism on culture and society is an issue that really stands apart from all of the other economic concerns.
		The cultural impacts of capitalism are extremely varied, and this has left room for its proponents to champion its merits as well as its detractors to criticize its ill effects.

	The Culture of Capitalism
		From the decline of public morality and personal values to the culture of narcissism to young people's inability to read and write, each of a hundred social ills originates with this trickle-down value system and its bottom line mentality.
		As we rely throughout the culture on this imperium of numbers, we too easily forget that no numerical scale can truly represent the values that are most important: The spirit that makes a worker want to give his or her best.
		The task of creating the culture that honors these things instead of the bottom line is not a problem to be left up to someone else.

	Capitalism and Culture
		From Left and Right, capitalism is condemned for all the cultural failings of the modern world--everything from mindless TV to dirty books to slatternly art to trashy movies to debasing music.
		More correctly, capitalism is just a name for the social recognition of private property, trade, and contract enforcement.
		As for the culturally uplifting aspects of capitalism, the profit and loss system makes possible--to take just a few examples--our economy's amazing bounty of recorded classical music, the greatest cabernets in the world, an abundance of culinary treats even kings couldn't imagine two centuries ago, and some good movies.

	Consumerism and the New Capitalism
		The traditional cultural values of Western society are degenerating under the influences of corporate politics, the commercialization of culture and the impact of mass media.
		As deceptive advertising and academic nihilism gutted culture of its subjectively realized values, the public was easily swayed onto the path of consumerism.
		The commercial exploitation of culture is widening the rift between ideal and being, between word and truth.

	Postmodern Culture, Global Capitalism, and Democratic Action
		Global capitalism and postmodern culture both in their own ways threaten, or at least challenge, democracy, citizenship, and civil society.
		Global capitalism not only shifts the locus of the formation of decisions far from persons most directly affected by them, it also undermines the importance of the institutional context that historically has been central to citizenship -- the nation state.
		At the same time, global capitalism often breaks down autarkic economies and the despotisms and oligarchies that depend on them, and encourages the formation of larger middle classes that, since Aristotle, have been thought to be central to democratic cultures.

	PBS: Think Tank: Transcript for "Capitalism and Culture"
		What we should do is first of all concentrate on one aspect of culture, which is law, and when we create a law that is accessible to most citizens in the developing and former communist nations, we can then come to the conclusion, to find out if some people are superior to others.
		When culture analysis worked was when instead of saying how superior we Anglo-Saxons are, you decided to make capitalism enter on the basis of the local culture.
		And while all the cultural arguments are interesting, and they may make Anglo-Saxons feel good at night, when you read the book and find out how well you've done.

		Of course, as others have noted, the pace of globalization is not uniform and numerous groups both within the Euro-American core and elsewhere continue to reproduce their goods and modes of livelihood in ways which both resist and accommodate large-scale forces.
		This trend is manifest in the reassertion of local, culturally constituted identities, places, work practices and goods as a source of authenticity in the face of the perceived homogeneity of transnationalism.
		These claims of cultural authenticity are often linked to an idealized, aestheticized premodern past as well as the social groups, goods and labor forms (like craftspeople and their work) associated with it.

	Fiction of a Thinkable World (The): Body, Meaning, and the Culture of Capitalism, by Michael Steinberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the culture of the modern West, we see ourselves as thinking subjects, defined by our conscious thought, autonomous and separate from each other and the world we survey.
		The fiction of a world separated from each of us as we are separated from each other, from which we make our choices in solitary thought, is enacted by the voter in the voting booth and the consumer at the supermarket shelf.
		Steinberg's critique of the intellectual world of Western capitalism at the same time illuminates the paths that have been closed off in that world.
