This book by German sociologist Werner Sombart explores the reasons why socialism has failed to take hold in the United States, despite seemingly favorable conditions such as industrialization and the absence of entrenched hierarchies. Sombart argues that prosperity and the high standard of living in the United States, exemplified by a diet rich in meat and abundant products, have mitigated the appeal of socialist ideologies. Considered one of the most interesting approaches to American society, this work is compared to classics such as Tocqueville's 'Democracy in America' and Bellah's 'Habits of the Heart'.
Werner Sombart was a German economist, historian and sociologist. Head of the "Youngest Historical School," he was one of the leading Continental European social scientists during the first quarter of the 20th century. The term "late capitalism" is accredited to him. The concept of "creative destruction" associated with capitalism is also of his coinage.
