Cash Values : Money and the Erosion of

Considering the insights of several classical and contemporary social theorists. Gay shows the duplicity of a monetary ethos: capitalism is without question the most productive economic system ever devised, yet the market system also fosters a subtle nihilism that tends to empty the world of substance and meaning. Gay's study encourages readers to rediscover meanings and values that transcend "cash values" - higher values that can free us from the market economy's grip on our culture.

Craig M. Gay is associate professor of interdisciplinary studies at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia.
