Capitalism is a mundane God.
It wrenched the higher might out of heavens and placed it into our sweaty hands.
Each of us has thus become the captain of our own happiness. Now there is no redemption other than the pursuit of that happiness on earth.
As we know capitalism was born from a religious impulse, Calvinism. But that wasn´t the first or last time that spirituality atrophied to stupidity and greed.
