Buen articulo en la edición del martes del New York Times de David Brooks sobre las causas de la crisis financiera en EE.UU comentando un reporte que vale la pena leer. El endeudamiento excesivo, la irresponsabilidad de varios actores economicos, etc. Llama al proletariado, "the lottery class" aquellos que tentados por el sistema, invierten una parte considerable de sus ingresos en billetes de loteria para intentar convertirse en nuevos ricos. La tentacion que existio con el credito barato endeudandose a 30 años para vivir el "sueño americano" de una casa que no es propia.
"The people who created this country built a moral structure around money. The Puritan legacy inhibited luxury and self-indulgence. Benjamin Franklin spread a practical gospel that emphasized hard work, temperance and frugality."

Julius Evola comentando sobre la etapa capitalista donde el "trabajo" se convierte en la nueva religión.
It is in the plane of ethics that the process of degradation is particularly visible. While the first age was charaterized by the ideal of "spiritual virility," initiation, and an ethics aimed at overcoming all human bons; and while the age of the warriors was charaterized by the ideal of heroism, victory and lordship, as well as by the aristocratic ethics of honor, faithfulness and chivalry, during the age of the merchants the ideals were of pure economics, profit, prosperity, and of science as an instrument of technical and industrial progress that propeles production and new profits in a "economic society." Finaly, the advent of the serfs correspond to the elevation of the slave's principle - work - to the status of religion
