Cahn, Peter S.,1975-

Direct sales and direct faith in Latin America[electronic resource] /Peter S. Cahn. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2011. - 1 online resource (xiv, 191 p.) :ill. - Contemporary anthropology of religion. - Contemporary anthropology of religion..

Includes bibliographical references (p. [175]-186) and index.

Making work a commission -- Helping others help themselves -- Thinking anew about the history of direct sales -- Healing the body through the mind -- Selling without selling -- Motivating rituals -- Planning the departure -- Bringing transformation to South America -- Moving forward, looking back.

Since 1990, direct sales have attracted over two million recruits in Mexico and are characterized by a belief in the power of positive thinking. Through an ethnographic portrait, Peter S. Cahn demonstrates that the quasi-religious commission of self-empowerment₇more than any economic commission₇ accounts for the explosive growth of commission-based sales in the developing world. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the intersection of the spiritual and the economic, to reveal the ways in which people of faith blur the line between sacred and secular.
