By Jerry Mander. See this link for a free Google book preview. From chapter 1:
"The idea that large-scale, free-market capitalism may eventually be
revealed as simply a temporary, short-term experiment, appropriate
perhaps for relatively brief moments of human history but now out of
date, is rarely discussed openly. And the idea that capitalism is
ultimately not amenable to reforms, not sustainable, inherently flawed
[...] and that it may need to be abandoned in the interests of planetary
survival, remains heretical to mainstream worldviews. [...] It remains
ok to critique certain aspects of the system [...] but not the system
itself, as if global capitalism occupies a virtually permanent
existence, like a religion, a gift of God, infallible."
Welcome to IPS and IPE Mr. Mander, where that is exactly the idol addressed.
