Religion in the Market Era

By (author) François Gauthier

normal price: R 5,910.95

Price: R 5,615.95


| book description |

This book aims to expand the limits of the social-scientific study of religion and define a coherent model of recent global transformations in religion, challenging the paradigm of secularisation and post-secularisation. Using a wide-ranging selection of case studies, including global Islam, post-Soviet Eastern Europe, China, India, and Africa, the author argues that since the 1980s, religion has been dramatically shaped around the world by neoliberalism and consumerism. Providing a global, macro-level history of how religion has changed in the past four decades, this book contends that the rise of economics as a dominant social sphere is central to understanding the ongoing changes in contemporary world religions.
