1. What is the result of Euro risk contagion and US debt politicisation? The failure of institutions which the middle class believes in. The immediacy of anxiety and doubt is compounded with normalcy bias followed closely by angry rejection and then self-piteous cries for help. As Dostoevsky showed in the Grand Inquisitor, the death of the spirit of anthropos corresponded to the Church expanding its pity for the masses which in turn enslaved them by unnatural codes of moral dependency. Since Constantine attempted to bring the secular and the divine together from 800 AD, the spirit of free thought and courage were submerged into the grand euro-ritualisation of symbolic power. These ritualisations reinforced the hierarchy of power through the discourse of discretionary mysticism. What were before humble limited abilities of the human became supernatural constructs of control (eg cults of virginity were simply a form of sacrifice and repression of the intergenerational impulse, racism another grouping which destroyed the individual by resurrecting caricaturisation in place of intelligence, and then of course, money controlled by the theodocy of the elite was perverted into instruments for the prosecution of terror, war, systematic rape and infant-genocide).
2. From the Declaration of Independence, we have known very precisely and can without any appreciable academic effort understand immediately that bad banking is the morphism from business education to war and is the main construct of control in the imagination which binds the middle class throughout the world. Money is the substratum of the stream of middle class consciousness. It feeds on the false and tragic-comic of formal desires of civilisation.
3. Talk to an anthropologist about money, about global phosphorescence on the screens, and she will tell you that such will always be (1) used to short circuit the normal physical trading pathways ("hedge arbitrage is normal amongst traders") and (2) those outside the magic chrematistic circles will treat the insiders as suspect and immoral. And how about government officials in this game? Always "weak, despotic, captured and blamed."
4. So what is THE solution to middle class anarchy? Put differently, how much would you pay to alleviate the pain?
