Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism (6th Edition)

by Richard H. Robbins  (Author)



Examines the development and impact of capitalist culture

From its roots more than 500 years ago to the present day, capitalism expanded from Western Europe to the United States and then to much of the rest of the world. This expansion has not gone uncontested; resistance has been both direct and indirect, including political, religious, and social protest, and even revolution. How and why capitalist culture developed and the reasons why some groups resisted and continue to resist its development are among the issues explored in Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism, 6/e.

Features

• Focuses on Cultural Roots – This title provides an understanding of the cultural roots of global problems. A strong focus on social problems such as hunger, poverty, environmental devastation, disease, gender issues, and social conflict are discussed.

• New coverage — on such topics as climate change’s impact on the economy — addresses developing social problems.

• Explores Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives – Multi-disciplinary discussions on the history, emergence, and development of capitalism and its cultural, social, and economic contradictions provide readers with a framework to understand the origins of global problems.

• Addresses Solutions – This title discusses both problems and solutions. A revised concluding chapter, “Solving Global Problems: Some Solutions and Courses of Action,” provides students with possible solutions to far-reaching problems. Coverage of Occupy Wall Street and Direct Action showcases fresh approaches to resolving capitalism-related challenges.
Presents Current and Real-World Examples – Recent events and developments help students maintain a current view of rapid global changes. New discussions on money (its movement, as debt, and consequences of perpetual growth), advertising to minors, immigration, and more keep the text current and relevant.
