The religion of markets

There is a myth in a our times.  There is a myth that has founded a religion.   The gold of this religion works with invisible hand. 

The priests preech:
-Capitalism is good
-The market is good
-They work automatically when left alone
-Nobody controls them, because they are too big
-They thrive under democracy and democracy thrives when markets are free
-And when they work everybody benefits
-Greed is good, because greed motivates and empowers the markets

To the doubters they say: Why do you complain, you envious, you slothful, ignorant jealous slobs.  What are you complaining about.  Embrace capitalism, participate in the markets, submit to the invisible hand, be fruitful and you will be rewarded.  Look at those who listen to us, see how they are, see how they are blessed.
