An interesting perspective.

From the article by Eugene Linden:

>> Eventually, this juggernaut will crash as the consequences of its
impossible assumptions - infinite resources, infinite tolerances in natural
systems, and efficient markets - make themselves felt through ecosystem
collapse, climate change, and economic and political upheaval. When
instability returns, large numbers of people will turn away from the myths
of the consumer society, and turn towards religion for explanations of their
plight. People tend to make a virtue of necessity, and if future material
prospects become more modest, non-material satisfactions will offer
solace.<<
