S'More Inequality
Cognitive psychology—“the mind’s new science” of the last several decades—has directed both popular and scholarly attention to the cultivation of individual willpower as a tool of personal maximization. The Stanford marshmallow experiment on delayed gratification among preschoolers serves as a widely recognized touchstone for this revivification of interest in the will. But the marshmallow test is more than a handy synecdoche for the cold new log…
A Matter of Some Interest
This essay review of Margaret Atwood's Payback centers on the observation that the book does not dwell on the unnatural face of interest and finance.

Over the past decade, the transnational turn within US academic history has won recognition from the country's key legitimating professional institutions, from journals of record to first‐tier search committees and major conferences. For historians of Latin America, as for scholars of diaspora and others who have long worked to historicize the nation‐state, this is familiar territory. Their work has always challenged imperial hubris and debunked …
The Soul of the Service Economy
The Soul of the Service Economy" explains the rise of Christian corporate globalism in the twentieth century, that always unfinished task of sanctifying capitalism and consumption under Christianity. As the biography of the Sunbelt service sector's "free enterprise" ideology, "The Soul of the Service Economy" is not an examination of Wal-Mart itself but an analysis of Wal-Mart's world—the interconnected commercial, religious, and educational inst…
