The Myth of the Invisible Hand

Kroese begins by challenging the prevailing notion of the "invisible hand," propagated by Adam Smith in his seminal work, "The Wealth of Nations." This theory posits that the pursuit of self-interest by individuals, guided by market forces, leads to an optimal outcome for society as a whole. However, Kroese argues that this simplistic view fails to account for the inherent biases and power imbalances within our economic systems.

He demonstrates how a small elite of wealthy individuals and corporations exert disproportionate influence over economic policy, shaping the rules to their own advantage. This undermines the notion of a level playing field and leads to the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few, while the majority struggle to make ends meet.

The Rise of Mammon

Kroese traces the historical origins of this elite's dominance, pointing to the rise of the corporate model in the early 20th century. Corporations, as legal entities separate from their owners, gained immense power and influence, becoming virtually immune to legal consequences for their actions.

This corporate dominance has led to the creation of a system that is self-serving and resistant to change. The pursuit of profit maximization by corporations has often come at the expense of environmental degradation, social inequality, and financial instability.

The Role of the State

Kroese also examines the complex relationship between the state and the economy. While the state has traditionally been seen as a neutral arbiter, Kroese argues that it has increasingly become a tool of the elite to protect and expand their interests.

Through tax breaks, subsidies, and bailouts, the state has played a significant role in maintaining the dominance of large corporations. This has resulted in a situation where the interests of the wealthy and powerful are prioritized over the well-being of the general population.

The Search for a New Paradigm

Kroese does not merely criticize the flaws of our current economic system. He also offers a path forward, calling for a fundamental restructuring that puts the well-being of society at its core. He advocates for a more equitable distribution of wealth, a decentralized economy, and a shift away from the pursuit of endless growth.

Kroese recognizes that such a transformation will not be easy, but he believes that it is essential to create a more just and sustainable world. He challenges us to rethink our assumptions about economics and to embrace a new paradigm that prioritizes human well-being over financial gain.

"Messiah Mammon" is a profound and challenging work that exposes the hidden forces shaping our world. Robert Kroese's meticulously researched analysis provides a clear-eyed view of the systemic failures in our economic system and offers a compelling vision for a more just and equitable future.

This book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of finance and economics and the impact they have on our lives. By dismantling the myths and exposing the power structures that dominate our economic systems, "Messiah Mammon" empowers us to envision and strive for a better world.
