"The great entrepreneur," as Carl Schmitt states in this work first published in 1923, "has no other ideal than Lenin, namely an 'electrified earth.' Both are essentially arguing over the correct method of electrification." It is precisely here, in the purely economic thinking that they both share, that the fundamental contrast to the political idea of Catholicism lies, which follows its own distinct rationality: it morally captures the psychological and sociological nature of humanity and does not, like industry and technology, approach the domination and utilization of matter.
