This is the story of the evolution and eclipse of the biblical mythology of the Promised Land, the foundational story of Western Culture. 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. Part atheist-anarchist manifesto, part masterful survey of opposed philosophical and economic schools, Beyond the Promised Land focuses on the twisted template of the Western imagination and its faith-based market economy. A must-read for intellectuals and activists.Noble, David F. is the author of 'Beyond the Promised Land The Movement And the Myth', published 2006 under ISBN 9781897071014 and ISBN 1897071019.
