The Gospel of Greed: Spirit of Commercialism, the Vital Controlling Force in Human Affairs (1908)

""The Gospel of Greed"" is a book written by Charles Hubert McDermott and published in 1908. The book explores the concept of commercialism and its impact on human affairs. According to the author, the spirit of commercialism is a vital controlling force that shapes the behavior of individuals and societies.

He examines the historical and cultural factors that have contributed to the rise of commercialism, including the Industrial Revolution and the growth of capitalism. The book also critiques the excesses of consumer culture and the negative effects of greed on social and environmental well-being. Overall, ""The Gospel of Greed"" offers a thought-provoking analysis of the role of commercialism in modern society and raises important questions about the ethics of wealth accumulation and the pursuit of material success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
