hind sight is 20/20

go back to 2007 and i guarantee you could find "economic experts" such as yourself saying
>everything is running along perfectly
>these derivatives are fine, that's the economic consesus

The "economic consesus" is what ever serves the interests of those in power, no matter what it does to destroy the middle class and widen the wealth gap

You got that right

Life is full of suffering and chaos. Happiness only exists in brief periods of time due to serotonin and dopamine rushes. The concept of "pursuit of happiness" is a modern invention constantly promoted by Jews in Hollywood and big greedy capitalist (((corporations))) to make you think that coonsuming product will eventually make you happy, but it doesn't. When you're in that state of mind, you become a slave to the system that doesn't give a single fuck about you but only thinks of you as a possible consumer and returning customer.

The irony with many of the stereotypical Marxists is that on the theoretical level they are actual communists but on reality they are some of the biggest mindless npc coonsumers in the world and the ones keeping the system 100% alive.

That being said, any books that explicitly criticize this consumer society?

>Such an outlook, which combines extreme moralism in the cultural and political realm, complete moral relativism in the philosophical or metaphysical realm, and at times even falls into subjectivism in the epistemological realm, is fundamentally irrational
But it isn't hypocritical to announce that metaphysically, there is no inherent value to life, while simultaneously creating your own value and strongly supporting it, as per modern political correctness. That's exactly what Nietzsche himself recognized.

Capitalism fuels the advancement of technology. At least the type that ruins lives. New medicine and better health procedures are good. New star wars movie and RealFlesh™ ultra-realistic sex doll not good. The bad technology is fueled by capitalism the good tech is just developed as we need it.

Literature to stop being a consoomer?
