Samenvatting
Detailed and historically sensitive analysis of two of the most powerful forces in the world - economics and culture. The economic age has produced a great deal of wealth and unleashed tremendous productive power, however, it is not capable of coming to grips with the problems threatening human and non-human life on this planet. After tracing the evolution of the economic age from the publication of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations in 1776 to the present, attention is given to culture, examining it both as a concept and as a reality. What emerges is a portrait of the world system of the future where culture is the central focus of development. Making the transition from an economic age to a cultural age is imperative if global harmony, environmental sustainability, economic viability, and human well-being are to be achieved.
