    A Welcome Tonic
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2021*

If there is one lesson we in the West seem to be forgetting, it’s that the path to participatory government was long, arduous and fortunate. If not for the efforts of many minds across cultures and centuries, the labor of generation after generation of educators and the blood of uncountable numbers of soldiers and activists, we could not enjoy our contemporary wealth and freedoms.This is all painstakingly analyzed in the Spirit of Democratic Capitalism. From intellectual forbearers like Locke and Aquinas, to expositors like Smith and Madison, to an analysis of the shared ethos for democratic capitalism to flourish—Michael Novak leaves few gaps in his analysis of the modern democratic state.What’s sad is that all of this is in the process of being forgotten; honored traditions lost by both the left and the right. Instead of uniting around a shared patrimony, we emphasize differences and neglect the effort that got us to where we are today.And so, while Michael Novak should be having a cultural moment, his work is itself relegated to dusty sections of rarely visited libraries. To read this magnum opus is to become aware of the story of liberal polities. It’s not the final narrative, but it is part of it—a part which is rapidly becoming unintelligible to generations raised in historical ignorance. Highly recommended as a tonic for much of today’s ills.

    Totally aligned with my changing opinion on capitalism (esp. in the US)
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2013*

I never read books on economics, but this seemed perfect for me as the author relates how the economic, political, and moral/cultural systems intertertwine, and check and balance each other.  It definitely puts a Christian/ Jewish faith at the core of its values, but it does not overconcern itself with religion even though the author admits to this being his framework and most important part of his life.  It is more about looking at capitalism in a new light, especially for those intellectuals who still look to socialism.It is an especially important book for me because I grew up despising the American culture, the consumer culture, and our imperialistic culture.  There are still very real problems with our culture, but this is a great examination into the ideals we were built upon and why capitalism is the best system humans have been able to come up with to save us from ourselves.

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017*

A Must Read for anyone planning a career in the business or government community.  Outstanding book to help modern society understand that Capitalism is not an "evil force of repression" but a valuable economic method of exchange.  Democratic capitalism as defined by Novak provides the best opportunities for societies to grow & the people w/in those societies to flourish.  Religion, charity, jobs, personal growth all advance due to economic democratic capitalism which provides opportunities for all people at different levels of education or skills, & provides those people the best chance of advancement & financial security.
