    Tales of “disenchantment” dominate modern intellectual life, and especially accounts of the cultural history of capitalism. Yet Weberian sociology, and especially Marxist notions of “commodity fetishism”, point to the persistence of “enchantment” in the capitalist imagination.

  • The Church Irrelevant: Paul Hanly Furfey and the Fortunes of American Catholic Radicalism
