Introduction

Stephen West looks at the link between capitalism and alienation in society. In this post world war two world, people no longer need to live together under one roof. The average consumer can buy their own house far better than a shack on a prairie. They have access to mountains of art and cultural artifax to consume with the push of a button. If you believe that everyone's life would improve around you if philosophy was widely disseminated, consider having philosophy as part of your portfolio. Invest in a better world.
