Colin Cremin investigates why, despite this de-robing, capitalism remains a powerful and seductive force. Using materialist, psychoanalytic and linguistic approaches, Cremin shows how capitalism, anxiety and desire enter into a mutually supporting relationship. He identifies three ways in which we are tied in to capitalism – through a social imperative for enterprise and competition; through enjoyment and consumption; and through the depoliticisation of ethical debate by government and business. Capitalism's New Clothes is ideal for students of sociology and for anyone worried about the ethics of capitalism or embarrassed by the enjoyments the system has afforded them. 2022-04-23T05:31:21Z 2022-04-23T05:31:21Z 2011 book 9781849645898 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/54130 eng application/pdf n/a external_content.pdf Pluto Press Pluto Press 6882 e7b13f6b-a18c-4c0b-97b8-d1891104b9c4 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9781849645898 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Pluto Press Knowledge Unlatched open access |

From broadsheet newspapers to television shows and Hollywood films, capitalism is increasingly recognised as a system detrimental to human existence.

Using materialist, psychoanalytic and linguistic approaches, Cremin shows how capitalism, anxiety and desire enter into a mutually supporting relationship. He identifies three ways in which we are tied in to capitalism – through a social imperative for enterprise and competition; through enjoyment and consumption; and through the depoliticisation of ethical debate by government and business. Capitalism's New Clothes is ideal for students of sociology and for anyone worried about the ethics of capitalism or embarrassed by the enjoyments the system has afforded them. |
