THE GREEK CRISIS AND ITS CULTURAL ORIGINS - MAN...

This original analysis of modern Greece¿s political culture attempts to present a ¿total social
fact¿¿a coherent and complex representation of Greek socio-political culture¿to identify the
cultural causes of Greece¿s recent disastrous economic crisis. Using a culturalist frame
inspired by the Yale Strong Program  Marangudakis argues that the core cultural orientations of
Greece have determined its politics¿Greek secular culture flows out of the religion of Eastern
Orthodoxy with its mysticism  icons  and general ¿ortherworldly-nesses.¿ This theoretical
discussion  bringing together Eisenstadt  Michael Mann  Banfield  and Taylor  is complemented
by an innovative use of survey data  processed by political scientist and statistician Theodore
Chadjipadelis. The carefully deployed quantitative data demonstrate that the culture previously
described is actually shared by people living in Greece today. In his sweeping conclusion to
this thorough cultural analysis  Marangudakis reflects on the prospects of Greek cultural
recovery through the construction of a non-populist civil religion.
