1. The Enchantments Of Mammon
How Capitalism Became the Religion of Modernity
This book delves into the intricate relationship between capitalism and enchantment, challenging the common perception of modernity as a secular, disenchanted era. It argues that capitalism, rather than stripping the world of its magic, has instead re-enchanted it by imbuing commodities and markets with a quasi-religious aura. Through a historical and philosophical exploration, the narrative reveals how economic systems have perpetuated a sense of wonder and devotion, akin to religious fervor, shaping societal values and individual desires in profound ways.
