This disconnect between capitalism’s reputation as an efficient economic system rewarding hard work and innovation and its reality as a system of mass impoverishment is endemic to our culture. At its heart, it is a system rooted in individual well-being, a seductive idea that appeals to the very human need to take sole credit for our achievements and feel shame when we fall through the cracks. The modern American economy preys on our belief in this ideal. When we can’t afford to pay for groceries it’s our fault. If we can’t pay back the cash advance, we are to blame. Those who don’t grin with joy while delivering takeout are the ungrateful ones.
