Bob, you're back! I just found Eugene after watching his lecture, "You're a slave to money and then you die." Good stuff. Glad to see you posting again, hope you're well.
Read his book. I think it might be the most important book written in a while on this subject. Eugene has changed how I view the culture of capitalism completely.
Glad to have you back.

Good to be back!
Great interview, and a rare interviewer who is actually up to the level of such an interviewee.
We must read Berdyaev Nicolas on these subjects, he is old CLASSIC!
I'm so glad you're back
Absolutely fantastic! Been playing with this idea for sometime. Had no idea about McCarrahar's work and look forward to reading it. Would love to see/hear this kind of work examined from a Religious Studies perspective, but it's wonderful to see academics recognizing the obvious and beginning the process of challenging the centuries worth of Mammon's ever constant effect and affect upon humanity's consciousness.
This fellow is a supercomputer in the best sense of the word. Fascinating discovery. Thank you, ObjectiveBob!
Thank you for this content, Bob! I'd love more on a Christian perspective on capitalism and modernity!
ObjectiveBob thank you for uploading this
Great interview. I'll defnitely have to read McCarraher at some point. Thanks for this introduction!
You the man Eugene it seems now a days we need prophets that could put our profits in perspective, and how it’s lack there of should not have us lowering our horizon and looking for false idols in Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos but in even yesterdays Steve Jobs. What we need today is to understand our humanity and a true connection with it, one only need to see in the hights of our information and technological age, we have only cut ourselves more unteathed to each other, and of such inequality that one’s destruction is another man’s salvation. So alien are we and our perspective to our neighbors even.
👍💐
Robert what is your own position on capitalism? Should it be fixed with Keynesian type policies or we need an alternative for capitalism?
