DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Martin Lutz (Berlin)\n\nThe lecture gives an 
 overview of an ongoing research project that tackles the question of how M
 ennonites\, Amish and Hutterites were able to remain competitive in the ca
 pitalist economy of the United States. The project looks at processes of a
 daption to and rejection of capitalist modernity in Anabaptist communities
  in a long-term historical perspective from the end of the Civil War throu
 gh the 1970s.\n\nOn the one hand\, Anabaptist communities remained anchore
 d in traditional path-dependencies\, for example pre-modern techniques of 
 production. On the other hand\, they embraced certain aspects of industria
 l modernity and increasingly participated in local\, regional\, and nation
 al markets.\n\nThe project is based on the hypotheses that religious value
 s as well as communal traditions influenced Anabaptist economic strategies
 . It aims to contribute to the current debates on secularization and the p
 ersistence of religion in modern societies\, the diversity of modernizatio
 n processes\, as well as the cultural embeddedness of economic action.\n
