Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book from the late 19th century offers an expansive critique of the pervasive influence of commercialism in society in the Victorian period, a phenomenon that the author argues is resulting in the loss of traditional values and a more cynical approach to life in both private and public life. Some of the themes that emerge from this detailed analysis include the negative impact that the increasing emphasis on money and material wealth is having on everything from interpersonal relationships to the practice of politics. The author argues that this elevation of commerce is resulting in widespread disillusionment and a corresponding belief that life is fundamentally meaningless. This development is in contrast to the earlier Victorian era, which was marked by an optimistic belief in progress, exemplified by thinkers such as Thomas Carlyle. The author examines in detail how commercialization has infected the entire social fabric, from the upper classes, represented by landed gentry, down to the working class. As the author delves into the impact on various segments of society, the underlying argument remains that as commerce is increasingly seen as the dominant value, a profound shift in the social and moral order is underway. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
