Cultural Genes And Financial

The topic about the economic crisis that origianted in America's financial turmoil in 2008 has been increasingly becoming a hot-spot of the academic discussion and research. A lot of reports, articles, reviews and books have been written since then. Unfortunately, almost all of them are trapped in the field of pure economic theory and are in lack of the studies of the cultural background of America, the place where the crisis started.In view of this, this paper attempts to comb the origin of American culture, and summarize the American culture gene. Then, through the analysis of the culture gene, the author tries to clarify that the financial crisis first happened in America is a historical inevitable event from the perspective of culture. Further from that, American culture is the representative of the western culture, and also the peak in the capitalist culture development history. So, if the fact that the American culture destined to lead to financial crisis is inevitable, other main western capitalist countries will all follow it's fate. American culture, as well as the whole western capitalist culture, is deeply marked with the brand of capitalist society development process. Its essence is determined by the capitalist system of the culture of superstructure. This culture is attendant with capitalism, can not cure the chronic illness, and will continue to cause economic and social crisis, until the demise of the capitalist system.
