Capitalism as a social movement
This paper examines the ways in which social movements based among leading capitalists have remade the US political economy. In the first part we examine the period from the late 1880s through the 1920s, sketching the emergence of a hegemonic movement that accomplished the re-embedding of capitalist social relations during the corporate reconstruction of American capitalism.

Alternative Health and the Challenges of Institutionalization
Through a case study of a complementary medicine clinic in a major urban hospital this article explores the links between two levels of power in the alternative health movement - the institutional level and alternative health's 'submerged networks.' Alternative health is conceptualized as a 'new social movement' whose central goal has been to create and sustain a form of life outside of conventional codes and institutional arrangements. The stren…

The article seeks to overcome the neglect of aesthetic sources of participation in public lif…

The Dream of a New Social Order
This study explores how magazines became the first mass medium in the USA and how they expressed a new American culture based on dreams of a better future. Schneirov argues that the birth of the popular magazine at the turn of the century helped to form the foundations of contemporary consumer culture. Revolutionary concepts and products from the skyscraper to the automobile were extolled in these publications as symbols of the might of science a…
