The Young, and Capitalism as an Attitude
My interest here is to describe capitalism as an attitude. That is, as a mental state connecting a person to a proposition. One easy conclusion would be to echo the judgement attributed to Winston Churchill that: “If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain.” Today’s youth rejects capitalism without a clear idea of what should replace it. These young protesters are capitalists; they just do not know it yet.
