1/ We already know where the road shall lead us upon which man betrays himself, subverts every just hierarchy of values & of interests, concentrates himself on exteriorities & the quest for gain, “production” & economic factors in general form the predominant motive of his soul.
2/ Perhaps Sombart better than anyone has analyzed the entire process. It culminates fatally in those forms of high industrial capitalism in which one is condemned to run without rest, leading to an unlimited expansion of production, because every stop would signify immediately
3/ retreat, often being forced out & crushed. Whence comes that chain of economic processes which seize the great entrepreneur body & soul, shackling him more totally than the last of his laborers, even as the stream becomes almost autonomous & drags behind it thousands of beings
4/ finally dictating laws to entire peoples and governments. Fiat productio, pereat homo [“Let there be production, though man should perish.”]—precisely as Sombart had already written [in his Der Bourgeois]. #Evola
