Review

"Why do countless young women (and not so young women, and some men, too) starve themselves to the brink of death? Do not read Kelsey Osgood's uncompromising memoir of her own anorexia unless you really want to know the truth--unvarnished by moral, therapeutic, or redemptive pieties--about this epidemic. "How to Disappear Completely" gives new meaning to gutsiness."--Judith Thurman, Staff Writer at "The New Yorker", and prize-winning author of "Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller" and "Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette""What sets Kelsey Osgood's memoir apart from the existing literature on anorexia is the author's commitment to stripping the glamour and romance from the illness. Yes, Osgood suffered from anorexia, but she refuses here to play the game of 'eating-disorders porn', focusing instead on how we must learn better ways to discuss anorexia in order to 'undermine its currency', to save ourselves and our loved ones from the nightmare that it is. Intelligent, moving, beautifully written, Osgood has written a paean to wellness, and taken a forthright look at everything that anorexia, 'bastard child of vanity and self-loathing', took from her life."--Molly McCloskey, author of "Circles Around the Sun""All addictions are alike, but not anorexia. The looking glass malady covertly twists even the language of healing to its own ends. In this brilliant book, Kelsey Osgood breaks this demon's code." --Susannah Lessard, former "New Yorker" staff writer and author of "The Architect of Desire: Beauty and Danger in the Stanford White Family" "The clear-eyed rigor of "How to Disappear Completely" is a refreshing corrective to hazy cliches of genius and madness and romance and rebellion that cloud discussions of art and mental illness both."--"New York Magazine" "An incredibly realistic portrayal of anorexia. [Osgood is] a precise, smart, and beautiful writer."--NewYorker.com "Osgood's candor and humor carry the narrative; the reader nods and laughs even while shuddering. She demarcates myths about anorexia while illuminating truths about what it's like to be hospitalized and in treatment...this is a book for every Millennial."--Bustle.com "[Osgood] showcases a world that debunks so many of the commonly held but misguided beliefs surrounding the disorder, and also how the same forces that are meant to support anorexics are often the ones that amplify its effects."--Bookslut " """"How To Disappear Completely"""changes the conversation when it comes to eating disorders..."Osgood paints an illuminating and incredibly honest picture of the struggle so many young women face, and it's eye-opening."--Refinery 29 "A provocative new take on anorexia and how we approach the illness socially."--Huffington Post "Osgood vividly portrays the creepy phenomenon of the "pro-ana" movement and the claustrophobic, self-involved, achingly lonely world in which young women compete to be "perfect" anorexics....the novel is imbued with pathos and tenderness."--"Publishers Weekly" ""How To Disappear Completely" is a wholly original and thought-provoking meditation--part-memoir, part sustained essay--on the coded culture o

When I sat down to read Kelsey Osgood’s How to Disappear Completely: On Modern Anorexia, I was more than a little excited. I had read a review of the book in the New Yorker and was interested in how Osgood was going to critique the modern anorexia memoir and provide a corrective alternative. I was elated that finally, maybe I could read an anorexia memoir and not be triggered.Yeah… that wasn’t really how things happened.There were parts of Osgood’s memoir with which I found myself nodding in agreement. Anorexia memoirs often glamorize and romanticize the disease and have a sort of aesthetic appeal that veers on a perceived fulfillment of a spiritual or cultural ideal (classic memoir that does this = Hornbacher’s Wasted). That is problematic. As Osgood argues, an un-addressed but problematic part of these memoirs is that they are too graphic. They describe too many showing clavicles, too many weigh-ins, too many calorie counts. As Osgood asserts, these memoirs can serve as guideposts for sickness or even how-to guides. Finally, someone to expose how, “The writers know they’re up at the invisible podium to speak out about their journey to the brink of death (oh, yeah, and back).” Osgood speaks of learning how to be anorexic through books like Marya Hornbacher’s Wasted and is also critical of books like Thin (also a documentary) by Lauren Greenfield.I have shared similar issues with anorexia memoirs. I have read these memoirs throughout my journey with an eating disorder, albeit for different reasons. In times of relapse, I have felt compelled to pour over every anorexia memoir in my local library, in the same way that I would also gravitate towards calorie/ diet-oriented tabloid covers. I would absent-mindedly pour through this rhetoric, my eyes barely absorbing the words, but absorbing the material fulfilled some “fix” or satisfied some compulsion. During these periods of time, I was magnetized to all covers involving DIET in all caps and books whispering tales of people who have suffered from anorexia. I remember reading Wasted during a particularly bad period of my life. I don’t know what I wanted to get out of the book. I think I wanted to feel something… beauty, pain, remorse, guilt… anything to remind me of what this disease really was doing to me, anything besides numbness. The book definitely gave me a reality check, but I don’t know if it was a good one.In times of doing better, I have also read anorexia memoirs because I am a very meaning-focused, introspective person who is always trying to understand my experiences. A few years ago, I casually mentioned to my then-therapist that I had ordered Wintergirls and Wasted on Amazon, and she responded with an immediate, “No, no, no, you absolutely should not be reading that right now.” I would scoff at her, “Yes I can, I am in a good place, I will be fine.” I just wanted to understand, I told her. I wanted to make make meaning out of what I went through, I wanted to feel something about it. I would read it without being triggered, I was fine. Of course, my therapist was right. I would emerge from these dark, aesthetic, triggering memoirs in a daze, and it might take me between hours and days to re-orient myself to the reality of recovery.Osgood says that she “will write a book about anorexia without ever once recording someone’s weight.” She also writes, “The only way to understand anorexia… is to examine and then devalue its currency. It’s to strip it bare of its beautiful language and its glamorous, deathly aura.” I was totally on board with this. I couldn’t wait to hear what she had to say.And yet… I read this memoir scratching my head, because I saw how embedded the glamorization of anorexia was in her narrative. Even though she does not use specific weights, Osgood does mention specific behaviors, especially behaviors done in a residential treatment setting, which can be just as harmful as recording weights. In Osgood’s memoir, anorexia is still on this cultural pedestal, and she uses literary techniques to enforce a sense of drama and “misery,” the exact thing she is supposed to be critiquing.I had a visceral personal reaction to Osgood’s portrayal of anorexia, a reaction equivalent to what I experienced when I read books like Wasted. The whisper of never being sick enough, the author constantly trying to prove herself, the “I’ll get there, I’ll show them,” the dance of anorexia descending lower and lower and darker and darker spoke to something so raw inside of me. I felt this sense of competitiveness, a sick sense of comparison and camaraderie from Osgood’s narratives of her experiences with others in treatment. While her writing was amazing, I noticed something unhealthy was stirred inside of me. The memoir was not devaluing anorexia’s currency. Most of her narrative was very pro-anorexia, and then, at the end, “Oh yeah, and then I came back. I don’t deal with it anymore.” How does that differ so much from Wasted? If Wasted was a major instigator of the pro-ana movement, does Osgood realize that while her work might outwardly critique such memoirs, it is actually in danger of having the same effect?Osgood’s understanding of anorexia is predicated on certain assumptions: that anorexia (or the desire for anorexia- “wannarexia”) can be learned and reinforced through memoirs and “recovery” rhetoric and that anorexia is a cultural ideal that others aspire to attain.I would agree that some memoirs, especially Hornbacher’s notorious Wasted, give too many details and can be harmful for people who want to emulate her (or any) author’s experience with anorexia. The whole pro-ana movement is real and destructive. However, I don’t agree with Osgood’s conclusions in how to address the problem. In fact, I was startled to find them harsh and off base. She asserts that in “theorizing, eradication of stigma, and spreading awareness… we are still instructing our youths how to starve and we are making it look good.” Perhaps awareness and stigma movements can portray anorexia in a positive light, a “better” alternative to less culturally accepted outlets such as drug addiction or cutting, but is it necessary to throw out the baby with the bath water? Are eradicating stigma and awareness of eating disorder inherently maladaptive? Maybe what we should be doing is finding more creative and more constructive ways of telling others about eating disorders.For me, reducing stigma and speaking out about my struggles has been empowering and has helped me combat shame. Unlike Osgood, I never believed that anorexia was a cultural ideal, something that made me proud. In fact, for years, I was too ashamed to admit that I had an eating disorder. It wasn’t until I had met others who shared my struggles when I was able to put a label on what I had been experiencing. The anorexia label helped me feel less like an alien. I never knew anything about an eating disorder until I was forced into therapy by my mom after exhibiting symptoms of anorexia at age 13. Even then, I thought the concept of anorexia was complete bulls*** created by people who wanted me fat. Just because sharing tips of the trade is a problem doesn’t mean that people with eating disorders should go into their shells and isolate from narrating their struggles and seeking support. There is an abuse of the anorexia rhetoric available to the public, but why does it follow that all recovery-oriented rhetoric focused on reducing stigma and spreading awareness should be eliminated?What rhetoric needs to be eliminated is that which presents a certain “ideal” of anorexia and specific tips of how to attain that ideal. Osgood’s narrative critiques this ideal but imposes her own ideal of sorts into the text anyway. Osgood’s narrative is a very narrow, strict, ideal of anorexia that can be harmful for readers. Her book still sets her own experience as a “gold standard,” when in reality, many people with eating disorders are not hospitalized multiple times, or reach a dangerous point with severe physical symptoms, nor do they pride themselves on how sick they are. Osgood is critiquing something she is also perpetuating.Even more destructive is Osgood’s beliefs of how we should address the issue at hand, “Perhaps what we need to do is actually restore some of the myths about anorexia, namely, that it’s a problem of vanity, or resurrect some of the stigma that surrounds it, in hopes that we move away from radically accepting it.” I don’t see how producing more stigma and enforcing stereotypes are going to help anything. Personally, I have enough self-stigma and shame attached to my eating disorder that I would rather not have people walking around thinking that I developed my eating disorder because of vanity. I developed my eating disorder because of a lot of complicated factors, most importantly that I wanted to disappear. Vanity had little to do with it, and when you are deep in the thrust of an eating disorder, that matters less and less (at least, it did for me).I think her statement that we are “canonizing” people with anorexia is an exaggeration, and a harmful one at that. In my experience, I have been ridiculed by the way that I look and have been shamed in food-related situations. Anorexia is still culturally inappropriate and a mark of disgust. Even the thin-adoring media will post tabloid covers with pictures of people who have crossed the threshold of being too thin or anorexic, and those bodies are looked at in disgust. Are people with anorexia really being canonized, or are they put on display to be publicly ridiculed, like freaks at a freak show? It depends on the person, the community, and the context. Maybe a little, or neither, of both. I think more research must be conducted on the topic before such bold conclusions of “canonization” can be made. (Side note: stigma based on people who are a normal weight, overweight, or obese is also destructive and real, but I am going to leave fat shaming for another post… or two… or three and focus only on anorexia for the purposes of this post).One fundamental error is Osgood’s idea that anorexia must be seen as either “exciting” or “boring”… that either we glamorize it or portray it as stale and mundane. Why is that our only dichotomy available for anorexia memoirs? I don’t think that exciting vs. boring is a meaningful dichotomy to describe anorexia. In talking about the idea of eating disorder being boring to my therapist, she gave me one of those therapist looks, and said, “Do you really think eating disorders are boring? I think of it more as needless suffering and pain.” I think she’s right. Not just because she’s almost always right (although she often is), but Osgood overlooks this human element of suffering in her portrayal of anorexia. We are not just characters, protagonists, whose lives are either heroic or a sheer failure. We are not a set of literary devices or narratives, nor can we be reduced to learned behaviors, nor can we cut out our early experiences and concentrate (perhaps narcissistically) on the sufferer her or himself. People with anorexia have real struggles and real pain.Osgood, purposely, does not discuss issues that contributed to her eating disorder, and I think that does a disservice to people who have eating disorders who have been through a lot in their lives. Eating disorders both are and aren’t about the food. Yes, there are real effects of starvation that can spiral, and maybe some people will never learn what exactly contributed to the development of their eating disorders, but others do. I am one of those people who has learned a lot from examining how my eating disorder developed. My recovery involved eating, but it was also so much more than eating. There is so much more to anorexia than the anorexia rat race of competition at meal time. Not discussing those other issues is miscategorizing the nature of the disease.For me, therapy has not been about cultivating my “special” anorexic persona; it has been about discovering who I am without my eating disorder entirely. When I think of my eating disorder, I think of tragedy, pain, and suffering. I think of all the moments, all the years I missed. All of the years I didn’t feel safe being myself. Recovery was like opening up a world. That world was so much bigger than learning to eat ice cream when out with friends. It was more like a widening of my world. I remember being in treatment and staring at a collage on which I was supposed to draw in response to the prompt, “Who am I?” I just stared at it and asked my therapist, “Can I say that I like coffee? Does that count?” My therapist raised an eyebrow and told me I needed to come up with some other ideas.When I think of treatment and my personal journey in recovery, I think less about how I learned tips of the trade and more how I saw the brokenness inside of me and inside of my fellow sufferers. I think of the daily pain, crying, and anguish. Osgood avoided discussing her recovery journey in the book, much to my chagrin. It isn’t good, nor does it make sense, to romanticize something that almost killed you and somehow be completely against it by the last page. Her memoir is a very abbreviated, and narrow, view of anorexia, and her conclusions are puzzling. It also leaves gaps about how she made such a wide leap from point A to point B. I finished the book feeling betrayed– as if my emotions were preyed upon—and frustrated by double standards present in her memoir. I did not understand the implications of her critique.The problem I have is not with Osgood’s argument that memoirs can serve as how-to manuals. That is constructive and provocative. My first major issue is how her subsequent memoir plays into the critique she is making. Second, I take issue with her sweeping and bold conclusions that have the potential for harm. I am all for integrating science writing and memoir, but when conclusions are based on one person’s experience and are not backed up with much scientific rigor, and involve things like dismantling the system of de-stigmatizing and eating disorder awareness, that is an inappropriate use of her platform. Now, if someone wants to design a study that analyzes impact of memoirs on anorexia sufferers, or does a review of the literature on this topic, those would be meaningful next steps in hopes of drawing more accurate conclusions.

This is an enjoyable read despite the author’s insistence on her flawed and sometimes offensive thesis. She argues that eating disorders, and other mental illnesses by extension, are socially contracted and transmitted. She argues that glamorized portrayals of eating disorders inspire vulnerable people to seek out or try to develop eating disorders of their own, which eventually become dangerous, “real” disorders. While I embrace the idea that social climate is a contributing factor in many mental illnesses, it's unfair to suggest that anorexia or any other disorder can be explained solely by an environment that fosters a personal desire to become ill. Here the author uses HER personal experience of having been heavily influenced by external factors to draw deeply flawed conclusions about the core of mental illness.I think most people experience mental illness, including anorexia, as an internal demand rather than an external one. People may search for validation in the form of an official diagnosis to confirm an authentic inner sense of illness. I don’t think most people have the luxury of wondering whether or not they are ill. They know, deeply and uncertainly, that there is something very wrong. That doesn’t mean they’re completely uninterested in validation. Everyone wants to feel understood, and sometimes receiving psychiatric care allows for a satisfying sense of being seen and cared about. However, it’s borderline offensive when the author suggests that depression has been cultivated among great female writers in order to make themselves more interesting. I think the author is in the minority when she can't separate her preadolescent desire for an identity as an ill person from actually becoming ill.TLDR; book attempts to generalize author's personal experience and draw widespread conclusions about eating disorder, book fails but remains entertaining

I've read quite a lot of books and novels about eating disorders and was very curious about this one.The author tells her story, with all her struggles, very interestingly. I think this is incredibly interesting for those who have been eating-disordered for a long time and have dwelled in the world of online communities for EDs. Osgoode points out that these communities can be just as destructive as some contact with fellow inpatients. I liked how she openly spoke about doctor's and society's failure to recognize and understand eating disordered patients who are atypical and not starved to the bone.I also absolutely get her criticism regarding Marya Hornbacher's memoir and similar ED-themed books. A lot books on anorexia come across as trigger-softporn almost. Eating disorders are too often are unintentionally romanticized by the media.However I did find her criticism on Hornbacher a bit awkwardly self-indulgent at times.I would recommend this books to those who are affected and are maybe recovered or on the road to recovery. This book still is a bit triggering, but it criticzes well and might an eye-opener for some.

I really wanted to appreciate this book. I really wanted to get behind her intentions of leaving out the numbers and graphic details and “minor characters” and the true terrors of rock bottom. However things still creep into the narrative, and what she states being against, still seemed peppered in somehow..I couldn’t tell if she was condemning the wannarexics as just that (wannabes) or saying they are just as diseased as any. I walked away with more questions than enlightenment, which is not a bad thing, but I was hoping for some more cohesiveness upon finishing.

Doesn't seem to have a distinct ending drags on, is fairly repetitive, relies & refers a lot to other books, like wasted, makes me feel like I should have read that one instead

Ive had an Eating disorder for over 40 years and this is the best book ive ever read!

There is not enough good I can express, perfect! I can say of this entire series! We have a girl that is entering the Teen years, that suffers from a Neurological/Mental Health disorder, that just makes everything more difficult for her. We have found that this series is just beyond awesome, every single book! Each workbook works through the issue at hand in an exploration framework to start out, individualized Therapy for the person to see where the problem originates, and, moves through many helpful exercises, and, strategies to make everything so much easier to deal with! We have had a well trained Therapist for years, a great Child Psychiatrist, and, I am studying to be a Child Psychologist myself, after my own experiences, and, these books are exceptional help for younger than Teen, Teen, and, even Adults we've all found.Please do not limit yourself to exploration of this one issue, please DO REVIEW the other titles, because i've found often there may be one issue, ie. Anger, and, under or around that are other issues, ie. Self-Esteem, so any one of the books may be exactly the right recipe for your Child!

As a counselor, I've used many of these "instant help" books for teens. All others I have received have been great. This one, however, was very disappointing. The content is extremely childish. None of my teenagers would be interested in participating in most of these activities.

I've used this workbook, as well as others by these authors. I like the workbooks and find them useful; however, the stories and some of the activities are a bit "corny" and irrelevant for high school teens that I work with. I usually just skim the stories and at times have skipped over entire activities because the activities are elementary-like, and the high schoolers I work with don't take them seriously. Overall, though, these workbooks are very helpful and open up a lot of conversations and help teens really think about their behaviors and how they approach them.

This workbook is more appropriate for younger teens and it should be titled as such. I purchased this workbook and read through some of the exercises. I would not recommend this workbook for the average teen age 15+ or older.

It was an okay book and even since it's aimed at teens it didn't really interest me or help me deal with depression.

Great tool for helping with depression.

My 14 year old was really sceptical and thought this would be stupid. Once I convinced her to really give it a try, she actually enjoys doing it.

Great help for my teenage daughter to work through her depression. It really helps her organize her thoughts and feelings of sadness.

I want to thank Brent Waters for entering into what seems to me one of the most divisive intellectual issues of our time, the intersection of economics and ethics, specifically Christian ethics. Few people articulate the issues and address the frustrations we face. You do it so well. I hope many people, especially professors in economics and in all the humanities,and particularly church leaders in congregations and denominations, will read and reflect upon what you have to say. You write with clarity and nuance, transcending the shrill voices of the left and the right, while recognizing the significance of their criticisms and marking out important directions for the future. Thank you for shining light upon the murky mess of reactionary thinking that dominates the academy and the church. I hope thousands upon thousands read and respond to your thoughtful, wise and helpful book. It is more than fresh air, it is a gayle force wind clearing out the cob-webs of irrelevant diatribes that have choked discussion for decades. Congratulations to Brent Waters for what I hope will be a thought changing analysis of the intersection of economics and ethics. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

An informative and balanced theological analysis of one of the most pressing issues of our times. There are no easy answers yet our situation demands a response; the booking begins to forge a way into how we might think through our responses.

In //Just Capitalism: A Christian Ethic of Economic Globalization//, Brent Waters argues in favor of a transition from nation-states to market-states as our current best economic option from his perspective as a Christian moral theologian. Several problems quickly arise in this text. I provide the following examples:Problems with Waters’ Method:1) Beginning with the introduction and extending throughout the book, statistical data is manipulated to support the author’s argument.2) The author’s arguments are overly simplistic, as he acknowledges throughout, but urges the reader to be patient because he will eventually bring it all together in a fuller and more convincing manner. He eventually does not.3) Examples of others’ arguments are most often on extreme ends of spectra, would likely not be used by critical thinkers today, and do not adequately address concerns of nuance lacking in the author’s own arguments. All too often it is stated that there is not enough time or space to work out much-needed nuance and the reader is simply referred to a number of other texts via footnotes.Problems with Waters’ “Christian Moral Theologian” Perspective:1) “Human flourishing” is defined by a particular “Christian” economic and political view that is more “of this world” in favor of the “haves” obtaining more to potentially aid the “have nots” than it is about following Jesus in the kingdom of God as it is now. It is argued that all should be able to meet their desired needs and wants, that this is impossible within any nation or community anywhere in the world, and thus global trade is necessary for “human flourishing” as defined by the author. This is simply ignorant of how many places in the world function and assumes everyone’s “wants” are going to be “good.” This also makes unnecessary the provision of God over and above our own efforts, something for which God has often chastised his people.2) It is rightly argued that affluence is not usury (obviously, by definition) and can, given the right circumstances, be a good. However, any Christian theologian should know and take into consideration that not all are set on the same path, that we are not all called to have “more than enough” in this life, and that living according to the Way is primarily seen by taking up one’s cross, living humbly, and following Jesus’ example of sacrifice, all while relying on God and not oneself for provision. This should not be taken to mean that we do nothing, but the arguments in this book have little to do with the potential workings of God and, subsequently, a “Christian” moral theology.3) The reader is expected to take the author’s argument that the Spirit //can// work through capitalism and globalization as evidence for their being the best way forward. This argument, however, has been and is used for many programs and methods Christians desire to perpetuate and need to stamp with approval—a tactic of “the end justifies the means” that ignores the fact that God can and does work in the darkest places that we cannot even imagine without justifying that darkness as “the best way forward.”Problems with Waters’ Idealism Conveyed as Pragmatism:1) For the author’s argument to work, all of the world’s kingdoms and nations would need to move to market-states simultaneously and be concerned with one’s neighbor in the same manner (as argued, that would necessarily entail one taking care of oneself and making sure oneself has more than enough before aiding one’s neighbor). It is accepted that not everyone will act as a Christian and that people will be hurt and oppressed in this system, even by Christians, but that it will be a smaller percentage than any other conceived way forward.2) Any system argued against can be (and often has been) in similar fashion to the author’s idealism and come out as “the best way forward.” If everyone cared for one’s neighbor as Christian’s ought, then Socialism and Communism could both potentially work quite well (remember, we cannot deny the Holy Spirit //can// work through [insert preferred system], right?)—arguably even better than capitalism given its bent toward greed rather than love of one’s neighbor. That is not to mean that all capitalists are selfish, greedy individuals, but it certainly opens the door to that possibility at least as much (probably more) than to loving one’s neighbor.3) Given the author’s concerns for the neighbor, there are several non-capitalist and non-free-market exceptions that are found to be necessary goods for the overall system to work (e.g., a socialist education system and unspecified government intervention with trade, the environment, and community are included), which should prove obvious to any reader that the ideal system does not work if it cannot work.4) The author admits in his final chapter that if he is wrong about the environment and the overabundance of natural resources believed to exist to provide for our ever-increasing selfish desires for more and more energy/power, his entire argument falls apart. I don’t think we need to wait to see the failure.My wife is an economist; I’m a theologian. Though I have certainly gained insight into economic theory, systems, and jargon through my wife’s teaching and working through some of that with her in light of scripture, the lens through which I read this book is primarily that of a Christian theologian and what I believe to be honest, rational thinking. I concur with Waters that globalization //can// be a good and that giving people the freedom of choice and open borders (borders that are often militarily—or at least by the threat of violence—established) is a good thing. However, I believe this because God has given us all the freedom of choice and that violence is contrary to the way of Jesus (Waters comes from a more Reformed theological perspective, so we likely disagree on exactly what “choice” implies, and his pro-military stance is something I obviously believe to be contrary to proper Christian moral theology). I also don’t think this is something we can force upon others via one system or another. Entering the kingdom of God is voluntary (again, Reformed folks will disagree here); likewise, the way Christians live should demonstrate the same method of volunteerism.Regardless of the system(s) in which we live, we (Christians) are first citizens of the kingdom of God who should love our neighbor no matter the degree to which we “flourish.” The ideal human flourishing described by Waters and many others awaits us in the gift of eternal life when there will be no more fighting, separation, heartache, or tears of any kind. Given the words of Jesus, I do not believe this can or ever will happen prior to his return.*I received a temporary digital copy for review from Westminster John Knox Press via NetGalley.

Words like globalization, capitalization, or internationalization have all been demonized in recent years. People point to the increasing rich-poor divide and the unfair distribution of food and power throughout society. Can there really be justice in a capitalist world? As far as author and professor Brent Waters is concerned, capitalization is more needed than before. In fact, he contends that "globalization is the only credible means at present for alleviating poverty on a global scale." Arguing against "naive anticapitalism," he asserts that capitalism has become the unfortunate "bogeyman" for all the problems in the world economy. Whether it is poverty or unemployment, income equality or environmental concerns, people are quick to point a finger at greedy executives, big-box companies, and the money politics that have corrupted many corners of the world. Thus, Waters tries to distance himself from such presumptions, choosing instead to see the solutions capitalism can offer, and to look at how it can create wealth for all. This is a bold move that would ruffle many conventional feathers. Fully aware of this, the author lists three levees to stem the likely tsunami of protests.Complexity Problem: Capitalism is not the main culprit for world poverty nor greed. Instead, it is a complex set of factors that are preventing individuals from productive contribution and equitable distribution of resources.Contextualization Problem: It is too simplistic to blame the problem in the rich-poor divide. Instead, there is insufficient contextualization and understanding of the circumstances surrounding the challenges in each region's market situation.Ideological Problem: Where conventional thinking often puts blame on globalization and capitalization as the bogeymen for economic problems of the world.The reasons for Waters's assertions is a belief that God created this world good and we are free to use them appropriately. At the same time, capitalization is the best and most realistic strategy to help the poor. More critically, he aims to show that globalization and Christian moral thought and practice are not related. Neither is it incompatible. He goes on to describe his thesis by first giving us a history of Globalization with 1.0 as the period from 1492 to 1800, largely driven by transportation advances and nationalism. Globalization 2.0 happens between 1800 to 2000 with the rise of communications and information technologies. Globalization 3.0 is about collaboration and cooperation with increasing scope; relative ease of participation; speed of exchange; and fluidity of capital resources. Moreover, globalization helps prevent the rise of totalitarian regimes. He highlights Philip Bobbitt's point about the 19th Century being the century of the nation-state, while the 20th Century boasts the individualistic freedom paradigm. Globalization 3.0 represents the rise of the market state. He makes a surprise remark by saying that wealth created through globalization were not gained at the expense of the poor. He uses the analogy of high tides that raise all vessels, dinghies and boats, but only the best ships remained afloat. However, the analogy fails when we look at the fact that only the rich or big corporations can afford the better vessels. The roots of his Christian ethic is 1) love for neighbour; 2) responsible stewardship; 3) Vocation; 4) Renewal of Church Mission. He spends the first half of the book showing that globalization and capitalism is a necessity for human flourishing. The next half of the book talks about it being insufficient in itself. Waters avoids overly simplistic diagnosis by looking at the contexts of markets, competition, and cooperation. Comparing capitalism and socialism, he notes the nature of "creative destructive" of being its own "gravedigger." In other words, there is an "expiry date" for capitalism, at least until new alternative comes along. His most comforting argument here is the work of the Holy Spirit through it all. God could expand, restrain, pause, or renew any of these forces. The Holy Spirit helps believers adapt to shifting times in a way that is faithful to the gospel. This includes the use of affluence for the betterment of society. This in turn leads us to the biggest reason for Waters's thesis: addressing world poverty.If Part One of the book is about the positives of capitalism, Part Two highlights the flaws and the need for something more. Making capitalism successful requires a shift of human attitudes through enabling and motivation. Humans can only flourish when they communicate well and behave civil. There needs to be both freedom, justice, and responsible stewardship. All of these would make capitalism just and successful. It is a tall order and looks quite impossible in our broken and sinful world. I think Waters is being too idealistic and may have over-stated his case for capitalism. His intention is noble, but the expectations are flawed. In arguing for the need for capitalism, he admits that Christians in general are not comfortable with accumulating riches. The Bible points more toward contentment and beware the dangers of riches. He goes into the study of contexts to find support for capitalistic economy theory. He cautions against blanket criticism of it by arguing that modern Christian moral theology is a reaction against the excesses of Roman Empire often seen as rich and powerful. There is the assumption that the poor is poor because the rich are rich. The key thing he is arguing is basically the shift of historical contexts. We cannot simply superimpose our disdain for Roman Empire style bullying of the poor and marginalized in the past into our present. Here, I think Waters has a good argument but it does not let globalization off the hook when looking at the problem of unemployment, uneven economic distribution, and the ills of modern society. In pleading for us to understand the complex environment, he tries to bring in other contexts such as markets, competition, and the need for cooperation as other relevant factors to justify capitalism. All of these are necessary for just capitalism. Put it another way, when countries or states fail to expand markets; increase competition; and widen opportunities for cooperation, capitalism will fail to maximize benefits for all. If it sounds ideal, it is. Power differences are huge when it comes to negotiations and initiating globalization activities.Waters in his proposal argues that the best of "just capitalism" can only win 2 and a half cheers. The other half a cheer is reserved for the place of fellowship and community belonging. I would argue otherwise, that we cannot compartmentalize community away into half a cheer. For community and fellowship cannot be considered just one half out of six. Gospel wise, it is essentially the whole people of God who would be doing all the cheering when there is justice, progress, and equality for all. Thus, community concerns must be in all parts of every cheer and all parts of every capitalistic endeavour. This too will remain a dream for now as the state of sin in this world is difficult to dislodge. I am impressed with Waters's courage to take a stand to give a positive but unpopular spin on capitalism. Do not be too quick to dismiss this advocate for globalization and capitalism. Study how Waters nuance the many perspectives of capitalism, the historical trends, the changing times, and try to see from his reasoned standpoint. While the book may not transform capitalism from its current state, this book offers a way forward to tweak it for the better.Brent Waters is Jerre and Mary Joy Stead Professor of Christian Social Ethics at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.Rating: 4.25 stars of 5.conradeThis book has been provided courtesy of Westminster John Knox Press and NetGalley without requiring a positive review.
