Ethics under Capital: MacIntyre, Communication, and the Culture Wars, by Jason Hannan. London: Bloomsbury, 2019.

Abstract

Jason Hannan’s Ethics under Capital provides a compelling contribution to contemporary social and ethical theory, examining the contemporary culture wars and thereby developing a stimulating analysis of the cultural and ethical crises that liberal capitalism creates. Central to Hannan’s analysis is Alasdair MacIntyre, the ex-Marxist turned Thomistic Aristotelian. Hannan argues for MacIntyre’s continuing relevance to both critical inquiry and the anticapitalist tradition.
