Examines the development and impact of capitalist cultureFrom its roots more than 500 years ago to the present day, capitalism expanded from Western Europe to the United States and then to much of the rest of the world. This expansion has not gone uncontested; resistance has been both direct and indirect, including political, religious, and social protest, and even revolution. How and why capitalist culture developed and the reasons why some groups resisted and continue to resist its development are among the issues explored in Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism, 6/e.MySearchLab is a part of the Robbins program.

This text investigates the historical development of capitalist culture and its profound, often disruptive, impact on global social, political, and economic structures. Richard H. Robbins, a distinguished anthropologist, utilizes a cross-cultural perspective to analyze how the expansion of capitalism from Western Europe has necessitated specific social adaptations and triggered widespread resistance. The work provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the interconnectedness of consumerism, labor, and environmental change within the modern capitalist paradigm.
