N2  - This article aims to examine the relationship between global capitalism and culture through a case of Islamic entrepreneurs in Turkey. The process of globalization has often been considered as a universalizing and homogenizing process that would annihilate local and traditional cultural values and identity. The assertion of identity and cultural values, therefore, is seen as a resistance against the homogenizing effect of marketization and commoditization. This article criticizes such an antagonistic understanding of culture and commodity, culture and market economy. It argues that deepening process of global capitalism has led to a process of culturalization of economic practices wherein cultural symbols and values are increasingly articulated with economic logic of capitalism. Cultural values and symbols are used by corporations as resources for localization and entrepreneurship, while culturalizing and moralizing economy also works to mediate the inequalities it causes and attempts to neutralize the resistance against it. Within this theoretical context, the article examines social origins and characteristics of Islamic entrepreneurs, their development and cultural aspects
