Interesting question how future generations will look back on current market dynamics. Perhaps they will assume we were worshiping money? A bit like we assume people in the middle ages were devout Christians because they allocated so many resources to the construction of churches and cathedrals.
This resonates strongly with me! Markets are in some ways just abstracted layers on top of monetary systems. The 2014 book Rethinking Money (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15814042-rethinking-money) was really influential on me when I read it eight years ago.

We at neighborhoodeconomics.org, formerly SOCAP are working in a way that is aligned with your new focus I believe.
Will dig in!
Future generations will likely frown and look in disgust at the wildlife trade market, zoos and aquariums
Your musings and reflections over a long stretch of time offer considerable wisdom. Thank you Gillian
