Luc Boltanski's and Eve Chiapello's The New Spirit of Capitalism, a highly praised study of the transformation of capitalism in the last third of the twentieth century, appeared in France in 1999. The English translation of what Le Monde called a 'vast and ambitious work, which is inscribed in a great tradition of theoretical and critical sociology', was published by Verso on 1 February. This conference will offer an opportunity for a discussion in Britain of Boltanski's and Chiapello's work, as well as for a broader discussion of globalization by some of its leading analysts.
