Buddhism under Capitalism de Richard K. Payne

Buddhism under Capitalism

Editat de Richard K. Payne, Professor Fabio Rambelli
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2022
This book argues that Buddhism has spread due to globalized capitalism, and explores how capitalism is also impacting Buddhists and Buddhism today. Edited by two leading scholars in Buddhist studies, the book examines how capitalism and neo-liberalism have shaped global perceptions of Buddhism, as well as specific local practices and attitudes. It examines the institutional practices that sustained the spread of Buddhism for two and a half millennia, and the adaptation of Buddhist institutions in contemporary, global economic systems-particularly in Europe and the United States over the last century and half. These innovative essays on the interfaces between Buddhism and capitalism will prompt readers to rethink the connection between Buddhism and secular society. Case studies include digital capitalism, tourism, and monasticism, and are drawn from the USA, Tibet, China, Japan, and Thailand.

Recenzii

By deftly revealing the complicated imbrications of various Buddhist traditions with different economic systems, this outstanding collection of essays not only fosters a radical re-interpretation of the Dharma's relation to capitalism, but it also provides valuable insights into today's necessary re-evaluation of the entangled relationship between religion(s) and the neoliberal order.
Richard K. Payne and Fabio Rambelli have produced an extraordinary edited volume that explores the influence of capitalism on Buddhist institutions as well as economic actors. This book is unique in how it draws connections between colonialism, neoliberalism, and global capitalism. This has profound implications for debunking stereotypes of Buddhism as world denying, but also for reflecting on the state of Buddhist studies today.
This volume debunks the common misconception that Buddhists and Buddhist institutions are unconcerned with the material world. In reality, as the contributors-who are the foremost experts on this topic-show, Buddhists debate and regulate exactly how to engage with the economy and material possessions, including money, property, loans, and investments.
