After reading about capitalism and the decline of morality, I found it very intereseting that the author thought that what we are seeing as Americans is not the the decline of morality rather the redifining of the word itself. I agree with his thoughts. I think that our understanding of morality is changing not necessarily because of capitalism or the economy but because times are changing. I dont believe that this change in the understanding of morality comes from anything but change in generation. A lot of things play into the changing of generation not just capatilism and the increase of technology, machinery, advertisment, and so forth.
The connection between spirituality and economics has no doubt been very evident in the past but we are slowly seeing economics pull away from religion. I think what we are seeing a slow decline in relegion as a whole not necessarily a decline of religion pertaining to economics. I believe the main reason behind this decline in religion is due to our growing knowledge in science.
I think it is ignorant to try and attach religion to economics or anything that is so important to the structure of society for that matter. Call me athiest, damn me to hell, but I refuse to let religion play such an important role in my life, why should society allow it to further burrow its way into such and important aspect of society; Economics.
