Exactly, John. One of the basic assumptions the culture of capitalism makes (IMHO) is that everything, including people, is valued by money. How much do you make? How much do you have?

What is the value of a mother? Nothing by neoclassical economics standards. And I don't think most people would agree with that. That is a chink in the armor. How can it be jimmied or pried to break it? What other assumptions are there that can be changed - particularly the ones that can be done most easily since we have more limited time to fix the system than it took to get us here.
