Il capitalismo e il sacro
by Bruni Luigino
One of the most significant forms of creative destruction which capitalism has enacted upon the modern world is its destruction of religion. To destroy a religion, the first step is to undermine communities and isolate people by turning them into individuals. And capitalism has done this particularly well, but that\’s not all. Capitalism became a new form of religion that calls for an exclusive form of worship and replaces Christianity. In his book Il capitalismo e il sacro, Luigino Bruni – Professor of Economics at LUMSA Universita in Rome – explores the intertwining of economy and religion showing their archaic roots up to the sophisticated outcomes of postmodern society.
