This book is about the partnership of God and Mammon in the New World - about how Americans have made money and lost money, and about how they have thought about that obsessive and peculiarly American subject.

It traces the grand American binaries of success and failure to their theological origins in Calvinism's anxieties about salvation and damnation.
