Let's Talk About Ceps
The Eye atop the Pyramid on the $ bill. The status of usury not only as a crime, but as a sin. Islamic banking. The Protestant work ethic and material success as a sign of God's favour.
Edit: THANKS TO SHIELS, WHO IS TOTALLY COOL AND NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE VALIDATION OF STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET, FOR INSPIRING MY POST WITH HIS PERSPICACIOUS QUESTION, "CAN ECONOMICS BE SPIRITUAL?"

For years I've toyed with the idea of starting a thread titled "On the Spirituality of Money". No clear idea what I wanted to say, it just struck me as an interesting phrase.
This famous monologue from the 70s media thriller Network comes close, though - starts about 1:40 in:
'the invisible hand'
'the world spirit'
marx and his vampires
the way Pound thinks of economics in The Cantos has spiritual and ethical dimensions.
the move off the gold standard, thus the value of the dollar rooted in, essentially, belief
