This book reveals the cultural influence of finance in reshaping the foundations of American civil society and proposes a return to certain \"first principles\" of the Republic to restore the nation's economic vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates how funding concerns and financial incentives \"revalue\" faith traditions, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and even the nation's healthcare system in ways that are eroding the diversity of American culture. These changes also undermine the ethical framework of both democratic government and the free-market system. While financial influence has diminished the value of civil society, this book proposes that revitalized intermediary institutions still offer the best path forward in restoring the financial sector and, more broadly, enriching the American competitive ethic toward development of a more virtuous economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is written for an academic and professional audience, offering a blueprint for the involvement of civil society with government in providing more communally integrated oversight that could contribute to a genuine democratization of finance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles McDaniel Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113888569X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138885691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Charles McDaniel Jr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087787045119,"sku":"9781138885691","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b04dfdec-95ae-4052-b0d4-a8af3551144c.jpg?v=1769101377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-society-and-the-reform-charles-mcdaniel-jr-9781138885691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
