capitalist myth

The propaganda system of capitalism mis-represents chance events and luck.
A mystification occurs:  not merely luck but "enterpreneurial talent" produces wealth.
But, if it's not luck, then it's ruthless unprincipled action, combined with luck that
creates individual fortunes.

And I remember Socrates saying that good luck is wisdom---or should I say,
all there is to good luck is wisdom, nothing more.

But the wealthy capitalist is the epitomy of non-wisdom, and the fact that the wealthy capitalist is worshipped means that our societies have reached the most degraded, uncivilized condition possible.....
