Carl Abrahamsson | Occulture, The Primordial Awe, & The Economy Of Magic
Credit Card Economy, Debt Obsession, and General Motors
The dialogue examines the modern credit-based economy and its impact on personal freedom. Abrahamson notes a cultural shift where Americans are obsessed with credit ratings and have moved away from traditional savings. He cites the mantra "what's good for General Motors is good for America" as an example of how advertising slogans morph into sociological wisdom that discourages people from questioning systemic financial control.
