Why do we indulge in the myth that the fabulous wealth generated by this mode of production will in the fullness of time become available to all people?
Under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the "right" neighborhoods, wear the "right" clothes, eat the "right" foods.
