  • Critical Enthusiasm. Capital Accumulation and the Transformation of Religious Passion. Oxford University Press, 2011. 240p. Hardback. This book is a challenging reassessment of the problem of enthusiasm. Rather than understanding the term as a throwback to a pre-enlightenment past or a persistence of religious thinking, Critical Enthusiasm offers a brilliantly dialectical analysis of the role the term has played in mediating the transformation to modernity and the emergence of capitalist forms of social being.
