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.

Future generations will likely frown and look in disgust at the wildlife trade market, zoos and aquariums
