Debating the End of History

The Marketplace, Utopia, and the Fragmentation of Intellectual Life

Beschreibung

Why do modern people assume that there will be perpetual economic growth? Because, David W. Noble tells us in this provocative study of cultural criticism, such a utopian conviction is the necessary foundation for bourgeois culture. One can imagine the existence of modern middle classes only as long as the capitalist marketplace is expanding.
