Searching for the Soul of Economics

An extended review of the book, "Being Consumed" by William Cavanaugh. It is intended not only to present Cavanaugh's analysis of the dysfunctions of contemporary society, and consumerism in particular. But it's subtitled "Building on Cavanaugh", meaning that it attempts to draw out some further implications inherent in (or at least consistent with) his core analysis. But in going beyond Cavanaugh, one must hasten to point out that he is not responsible in any manner for its content.
