But the civil rights impulse of the past fifty years with its vigorous supporting scholarship has elevated the importance of the latter while unwarrantedlyeclipsing the central place of the former. Yet it was the demands of a capitalist order grounded in a money economy run by white male Protestants that until quite recently made racial (and many would argue gender) oppression so attractive and, in some cases, and in one region, imperative. From the outset, life in the United States has been defined by a blind embrace of business and commerce, a rabid quest for wealth, and a persistent economic overreach enveloped in a widespread obsession with evangelical religion and personal salvation.United StatesPolitics and government1945-1989United StatesEconomic conditions1945-Electronic books.973.92Rose Lisle A.681533Lee KristieHill Mindy BasingerMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465047503321Farewell to prosperity2232065UNINA
