Restructuring Capitalism

This incisive work argues that modern capitalism is in a state of crisis, not merely due to economic inequality, but because of a profound spiritual void at its core. The author posits that a purely materialistic and scientific worldview has triumphed, leaving the system without a moral compass or a sense of higher purpose to guide its function. This lack of a spiritual dimension is presented as the fundamental reason why capitalism fails to serve the vast majority of people who participate in it. The book makes a compelling case that our economic framework is broken not just in its outcomes, but in its very philosophical foundations.

Buchholz distinguishes this analysis by focusing on the need for a values-based restructuring rather than a simple policy overhaul. The book will resonate most with readers seeking a deeper, philosophical critique of our economic system and those questioning the relentless pursuit of growth without purpose. It challenges the reader to consider how integrating spiritual and ethical considerations could create a more humane and effective capitalism. This is a thought-provoking call for a system that serves the material and spiritual needs of the many, not just the financial interests of a few.
