The Bourgeois Virtues

Deirdre McCloskey

World Economics, 2004, vol. 5, issue 3, 1-16

Abstract: ‘Bourgeois virtue' is not a contradiction in terms. The age of capitalism has enormously enriched the world. But the enrichment is by no means only material. The virtues enabled capitalist development; but a bourgeois life also encouraged new versions of old virtues; and gave scope for varied lives.
