The Odyssey of the Western Spirit Jack Meyer

The Odyssey is a general theory as to how mankind moved from the scarcity of primitive life to the present world of technological abundance. It offers a specific view of psychological life that recurs in the institutional structures of religion, capitalism, and romanticism. A similar theme emerges in the various configurations of the Western world starting with Odysseus on his way home to today's world of global outreach, a story like no other.
