The author argues that the current focus on economic growth is a reversal of traditional values that has led to a concentration of wealth and power in a few hands and to the destruction of the global environment. He examines economism as a shared religion--how it came into being, its contributions and limitations, the institutions through which it acts, how it has reshaped our society, and its future. In addition, he includes criticism of the policies and practices of the Bretton Woods institutions as these follow from and express the ideology that shapes them.
