Abstract
With its four decades of economic growth and its booming middle class, Indonesia has become something of a paradigmatic case in research on Islam, economic globalization, and blended subjectivity. As the literature under review confirms, Indonesia’s Muslim middle class is the world’s most avid consumer of “Islamic” self-help and life-coaching literature. Although Indonesia’s lifestyle coaches agree in emphasizingmoral connection and the ethical use of wealth, they disagree on the precise sources and principles of Islamic ethics. The disagreement is illustrative of a broader debate taking place around the world over Islam, religious authority, economic globalization, and the making of ethical selves.
