"Outlines the problems of blind adherence to capitalism"... Not really? He says "capitalist" once: "the capitalist nations at least, will face exactly the same problems." The author credits this to "the universalization of capitalist values" but does not define the term, so no valid argument is being made. I don't agree with worshipping capitalism either if that means big corporations and the love of money, international finance, the stock market... but that's not what it means to me.
The rest of the text is compelling and seems very relevant to today. What is the book? I'd love to read it.
