Title: indispensible
Review: This book is indispensible for understanding the development of economic systems of Europe and America in the past few hundred years and some fundamental cultural distinctions between Continental Europe and the Anglo-American sphere of influence.Few books I have ever read integrate so well religion, politics, economy, and culture into a seamless fabric of social observation. Fewer still provide as accurate of a model for understanding the development and operation of the modern linguistic conflicts and sloganeering which revolves around regulation of economic activity.This book is a must for readers emergent from the idealistic haze of liberterianism who want to reintegrate the importance of human groups and religious belief systems into their thinking. Its also mandatory for contemporary "conservatives" and republicans who may wish to add some real social ethics into their political philsophy rather than just letting the international free trade lobby do their thinking for them.
