The virtue of prosperity

the long version

"In The Virtue of Prosperity, former White House policy analyst Dinesh D'Souza offers the first in-depth analysis of the spiritual and social crisis that has been spawned by the new economy and new technologies. Drawing upon original reporting, including more than a hundred interviews with leading entrepreneurs, scholars, social and religious activists, and tech tycoons, D'Souza brings to life the heated debate over how we are all affected by the massive changes under way.". "D'Souza creates a portrait of some of the movers and visionaries in today's economy: Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, George Gilder, T.J. Rodgers, and Ted Turner. But he also digs deep to understand what people who are not in the new economy vanguard - scholars, pundits, clergy, ordinary workers - think and feel about our new prosperity. He reveals the surprising ways in which old political allegiances have blurred and elements of the left and the right are uniting in resistance to the new world celebrated by the techno-utopians."--BOOK JACKET.
