What is wrong with the world? According to common belief, everything is constantly developing to be higher, better, and faster. Consequently, it should be getting better for every person. However, we feel deep down and find empirical confirmation in our daily lives that the opposite is true.

And you will gain insight into what we have allowed this capitalist system to do to ourselves.
