Jorge Majfud Quote

The relationship that in our time unites us with Money is completely abstract. That's where our society resembles to the one in the Middle Ages: we fear a symbolic and invisible entity, like men feared God thousands of years ago. The stock exchange changes without our participation. Between the stock and us there's a theology of money called economy that, in general, is in charge of rationally explaining something that doesn't have more reason than it's symbolic power.
