Abstract
‘Bourgeois virtue’ is not a contradiction in terms. The age of capitalism has
enormously enriched the world. But the enrichment is by no means only
material. The virtues enabled capitalist development; but a bourgeois life also
encouraged new versions of old virtues; and gave scope for varied lives.
