	The Insufficiency of Economic Materialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There are epochs when the significance of economic circumstances in the course of social events becomes surprisingly clear, but there are others where religious or political motives obviously interfere arbitrarily with the normal course of economics and for a long time inhibit its natural development or force it into other channels.
		Never before has it been so clearly proved that economic conditions alone cannot change the social structure, unless there are present in men the spiritual and intellectual prerequisites to give wings to their desires and unite their scattered forces for communal work.
		It was not solely economic interests which played an important part in the late war, but motives of political power, which in the end did most to let loose the catastrophe.

	Materialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In philosophy, materialism is that form of physicalism which holds that the only thing that can truly be said to exist is matter; that fundamentally, all things are composed of material and all phenomena are the result of material interactions.
		As a theory, materialism belongs to the class of monist ontology.
		Materialism is sometimes allied with the methodological principle of reductionism, according to which the objects or phenomena individuated at one level of description, if they are genuine, must be explicable in terms of the objects or phenomena at some other level of description -- typically, a more general level than the reduced one.

	Cosmopolitan Party of Canada - Parti Cosmopolite du Canada: Beyond Materialism
		The prevailing culture of a society which embraces 'economic materialism', is that the environment is simply a resource to be exploited for personal commercial-equivalent profit, and self-aggrandizement.
		Economic materialism, has fostered such a culture of joint primitiveness and sentience where human beings assimilate self-destructive, and essentially egotistical attitudes void of personal and social responsibility to other human beings.
		Correspondingly, economic materialism as the prevailing value of society, is accompanied by largely unfulfilling jobs, as destructive to the individual's well-being, as the operation are to the environment.

	The Philosophy of Karl Marx
		Economic reality develops according to Hegel's dialectical principles; that is, reality must deny itself in order to reach a higher degree of being.
		The dialectical materialists certainly criticize the older materialistic schools, yet this criticism is not aimed against materialism as such, but exclusively at the lack of a dialectical element, and of a "correct" conception of evolution.
		The import of dialectical materialism depends, naturally, upon the meaning one gives to the word "matter." In this respect certain difficulties are caused by a definition given by Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924), the man who subsequently thought out the doctrines of Marx and Engels afresh, then expounded them and prescribed them for the Communist party.

	Sociology of the Qur'an
		Historical materialism, which is a part of Marxism and the subject of our present study, as explained earlier, consists of certain fundamentals and corollaries, which neither Marx the scholar could impose upon himself for ever, nor Marx the philosopher and the thinker could accept to be permanently saddled with.
		His interpretation of historical materialism reaches a point that one finds this theory and its emphasis on the economic base, and as a consequence the so‑called scientific socialism whose basis is historical materialism, reduced to mere play of words and nothing else.
		With the lapse of a particular period and changes in the material, economic, and social conditions, which are necessary and inevitable, every idea or thought, every philosophical or scientific theory or ethical system is invalidated and is ultimately bound to be replaced by a different idea, thought or theory.

		Historical materialism is not and cannot be a new philosophy of history or a new method; but it is properly this; a mass of new data, of new experiences, of which the historian becomes conscious.
		Just as philosophical materialism does not consist in the assertion that bodily facts have an influence over spiritual, but rather in the making of these latter a mere appearance, without reality, of the former: so historical materialism must consist in asserting that economics is the true reality and that law is a fallacious appearance.
		Historical materialism if it is to express something critically acceptable, can, as I have had occasion to state elsewhere,(27*) be neither a new a priori notion of the philosophy of history, nor a new method of historical thought; it must be simply a canon of historical interpretation.

	Data Entry
		Based on questionnaire data from 246 adolescents, this study showed that materialism in adolescents is positively related to peer influence and is negatively related to satisfaction with one's mother, religious service attendance, and economic socialization.
		Within a sample of 82 adolescents for which their mothers' materialism scores were also available, maternal materialism correlated with adolescents' materialism.
		Contrary to previous research,family structure was not related to adolescents' materialism, although family environments were very important predictors of the adolescents' materialism to the extent that their mother's materialism level and their mother's report of the family communication style alone could reliably predict her child's level of materialism.

	The Materialist Conception of History
		It may be objected that the "disciples" themselves sometimes called themselves economic materialists, and that the term "economic materialism" was first used by one of the French "disciples." That is so.
		If old laws hamper a section of society in attaining its material aims, in satisfying its urgent wants, it will infallibly, and with the greatest ease, become conscious of their restrictiveness: this requires very little more intelligence than is necessary for the consciousness that tight shoes or heavy weapons are uncomfortable.
		Whereas the philosophy of Descartes sprang from a desire for social peace, the materialism of the eighteenth century was the herald of new social upheavals.

		Immediately repeal the tax cuts initiated by the Bush administration that benefit the wealthy and develop an equitable tax policy that accomplishes the dual objective of requiring those individuals that earn more pay a greater percentage of the income and requiring corporations to pay their fair share by eliminating the tax loopholes.
		While materialism surges around us seemly unchecked by common sense or morality, the most extreme form is the political manipulation by the rich to deprive the government of a fair share of the resources they have generated.
		This is the most extreme form of materialism since it deprives the government of the resources necessary to maintain a balance between the economic classes in the country.

		Although economic growth correlates with social progress and stronger democracy, the correlation is not exact.
		The idea that economic growth or stagnation effects the mindsets of the people living in that time period is a logical argument that Friedman often well supports with historical facts.
		Economic growth positively affects the character of the society as a whole, and because neither tolerance nor democracy is a good that private markets value, there is a role for government measures to seek growth beyond what the market would provide on its own.
