Hau Journal of Ethnographic Theory, 10(3), 1055–1057. https://doi.org/10.1086/712096https://doi.org/10.1086/712096https://hdl.handle.net/1828/22332This essay develops the method of mesoanalysis to comprehend problems shared at divergent sites, but that are not reducible to universal or general forces. Drawing on fieldwork at a state-owned steel factory in Indonesia, the essay describes a specific assemblage of capitalist restructuring and Islamic reform. The essay argues that the term “spiritual economy” conceptualizes the affinities between particular interventions to mobilize religious piety for economic practice with analogous efforts elsewhere.enCC BY-NC 4.0capitalismethicsglobalizationIslamproblem spacespiritual economyPostprint
