["Lee, Frederic" <leefs@xxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

I am forwarding you an e-mail from Steve Cohn who wants some information
on the psychological impact of capitalism.  You can e-mail him at
scohn@xxxxxxxxx  Steve would also like to subscribe to PEN-L but cannot
seem to do so.  Could Michael help him out on this?

Fred,     

        I've been asked by a colleague in the psyhe department to help
him write a paper on the psychological impact of capitalism.  His work
on the limits to materialism as a means ot happiness has been getting
surprising 
attention in the media and I'd like to help him out.  So what i am 
loking for are bibliographic suggestions on the psychological impact of 
capitalsim- some obvious categories are

    -on consumption, (Sut Jhally type of stuff on advertising, 
marketing, etc.), fetishism of commodities,  creation of homo 
economicus, the bourgeoisie subject, etc.
    -on alienation
    -the whole literature on whether studying economics makes you 
selfish etc- (which I think we should probably stay away from)
    ETC.

    What I'd like would be some survey volumes- though this may be 
unrealistic. Any ideas?

   Steve
