Abstract

Wilkinson reviews the philosophical aspects of Dinesh D'Souza 's The Virtue of Prosperity: Finding Values in an Age of Techno-Affluence. D'Souza 's general support of free-markets and technological innovation is noted, but he is criticized for his misreading of Ayn Rand, and for failing to provide an adequate moral defense of capitalism. Additionally, Wilkinson finds D'Souza philosophically confused in discussions of the significance of the scientific image of human nature, genetic manipulation, and cloning.
