Summary
Traces the evolution and eclipse of the biblical mythology of the Promised Land, the foundational story of Western Culture, and brings into focus the template of the Western imagination and its faith-based market economy. From the first recorded versions of "the promise" saga in ancient Babylon, to the Zapatistas' rejection of promises never kept, Noble explores the connections between Judeo-Christian belief and corporate globalization. – from publisher information.
