“The history of religions reaches down and makes contact with that which is essentially human: the relation of man to the sacred. The history of religions can play an extremely important role in the crisis we are living through.

“Too much of what led up to the crisis in the old bubble days—the conspicuous consumption, the latter-day Gatsbyism—was fueled by a need to fill a huge emotional and psychological void left by the absence of meaningful work. When people cease to find meaning in work, when work is boring, alienating, and dehumanizing, the only option becomes the urge to consume—to buy happiness off the shelf, a phenomenon we now know cannot suffice in the long term.” PeopleKnowsNeedsLongLeftTermToo MuchEmotionalHugeCrisisBoringAbsenceMeaningfulCeasePsychologicalLong TermLatterUrgesPhenomenonVoidBubblesConsumptionShelvesFind MeLatter DaysMeaningful WorkConspicuous Consumption Author:Richard Florida
