Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'A significant and timely contribution to the longstanding debate of the role of religion in economic progress.' — Michael A. Witt, Professor of Asian Business and Comparative Management, INSEAD

'There has to be an explanation of economic growth that takes into account the spiritual as well as the purely economic and political aspects of society... This book adds much to understanding this most significant of questions.' —Bruce W. Stening, Vlerick Dean, National School of Development, Peking University

'This book adds to and develops Weber's ideas, which are usefully expanded across countries, religions, and time. It shows also how spiritual capital is not always religious and can be negative as well as positive.' —Chris Rowley, Professor of Human Resources Management, City University, London

Reseña del editor:

'The Hidden Form of Capital' presents evidence from several parts of the changing world about how the realm of the spirit affects the economy. Instead of adding to the theoretical speculation on the role of culture in economic progress, this book provides evidence from recent analytical studies in Europe, Asai, Africa, Russia, and the United States.
