Book Synopsis
New Age Capitalism examines how Eastern and other non-Western traditions have been coopted by Western capitalism.

Trade Review
"New Age Capitalism reveals the sometimes hilarious ironies and contradictions that come with using the capitalist marketplace as a place to critique capitalism." * Joseph Turow, author of Breaking Up America: Advertisers and the New Media World *
"New Age Capitalism represents a new, sophisticated-and in many ways daring-extension of folkloric concerns into the arena where ancient traditions, fads, popular culture, global economics, personal taste, and cultural worldview intersect. . . . Lau's compact book is a clever and helpful contribution to this enterprise." * Western Folklore *
