(1:55 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Jesus Loves the Economy
From CalPundit's weekly Survivor post, I find this great essay on what the betrayal of Rupert might say about the state of our nation. Here's a sample:
The irony is that the unreality of TV is often the reality of corporate life. I am always amused at the rantings of the radical free marketists that presume how the economic aspect of our lives reflects some sort of meritocracy -- as long as government keeps its nose out of it.
That's not the case in any reality with which I am familiar. The most idiotic or sadistic child of the business owner will inherit his parent's role by virtue of his pedigree. The most sycophantic fool is considered well qualified to become the second in command. The most servile, amoral drone usually counts the beans. The most likely outsider to rise to the top is the one who evades the rules of the corporate suckupancy by being the most ruthless.
The author writes for the site The Right Christians, which fights the good fight for rescuing Christianity from the morons and the demagogues.
