The Commercial Society : Foundations and Challenges in a Global Age, Hardback Book

The Commercial Society : Foundations and Challenges in a Global Age Hardback

Part of the Studies in Ethics and Economics series

Hardback

Description

Once relatively confined to parts of Europe and North America, commercial societies are now found in many other cultures and continents.

Yet despite the international spread and growth of commercial order, the moral, economic, and legal foundations of commercial society remain poorly understood, especially in those countries where it first took root.

Guided by the thoughts of Alexis de Tocqueville, Samuel Gregg's The Commercial Society identifies and explores the key foundational elements that must exist within a society for commercial order to take root and flourish.

Gregg studies the challenges that have consistently impeded and occasionally undermined commercial order, including the persistence of "corporatist" values and political movements seeking to equalize social conditions.

This book offers a historically-grounded analysis for modern audiences interested in philosophy or the history of economics.
