Description
This award-winning text explores one of the crucial successful cultures and societies the world has ever seen — capitalism.
From capitalism’s European roots more than 500 years ago to the present, this text examines the problems caused by its expansion, inequality, environmental destruction, and social unrest.
Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism provides any reader with the anthropological, economic, and historical framework to bear in mind the origins of global problems, why globalization and the global expansion of the culture of capitalism has generated protest and resistance, and the steps vital to solve global problems.
Up-to-date information all the way through the text helps students take care of a current view of the rapidity of global change.
As one reviewer says, “In lately’s world of global cultures, the key to solving the problems of the future relies on understanding the cultures of lately. Robbins’ book spells this out in clear and easy-to-read prose. It’s the one book that each college student will have to be required to read.”
