What is This Sheba, Self. The Conceptualization of Economic Life in Eighteenth Century America about?
"This Sheba, self" expressed the American colonists' fear of their own behavior. Though in direct conflict with colonial social values. the chief motivation of social development was economic. In this revealing analysis of the colonists' collective attitude towards work, J.E. Crowley identifies the attitudes that contributed to the American work ethic, explains how these attitudes evolved, and determines within what limits economic activity was given meaning. At the core of these attitudes, he finds the colonists' view of the relationship between self and society. -- Publisher description
