| Résumé: | "In Capitalist Humanitarianism, Lucia Hulsether reveals how left critiques of capitalism have been capitulated into efforts to reform and rebuilt capitalist institutions. From initiatives in the 1980s such as the fair trade chain Ten Thousand Villages to microfinance programs in Central America, humanitarians in the global North have brought capitalist institutions to the global South in the hope that free market projects can be part of feminist, decolonial, and anti-racist solidarity. Hulsether argues that these capitalist humanitarian projects must be understood through their relationship to Christianity.
