Buddhism under Capitalism
Editat de Richard K. Payne, Professor Fabio Rambellien Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2022
Edited by two leading scholars in Buddhist studies, the book examines how capitalism and neo-liberalism have shaped global perceptions of Buddhism, as well as specific local practices and attitudes. It examines the institutional practices that sustained the spread of Buddhism for two and a half millennia, and the adaptation of Buddhist institutions in contemporary, global economic systems-particularly in Europe and the United States over the last century and half.
These innovative essays on the interfaces between Buddhism and capitalism will prompt readers to rethink the connection between Buddhism and secular society. Case studies include digital capitalism, tourism, and monasticism, and are drawn from the USA, Tibet, China, Japan, and Thailand.

Recenzii
Compelling theoretical research and practical case studies in the interdisciplinary field of Buddhism and Capitalism . inspires us to engage with capitalism differently under the compass of Buddhist teachings and practices.
[The] volume as a whole challenges the common stereotype that Buddhism is a world-denying religion not involved in economic activities. While gift-merit exchanges were acknowledged and encouraged at the time of the Buddha, such exchanges have gradually transformed into more nuanced and complex ones affiliated with commodification in a money economy.
