Psycapitalization: The Art Storefronts Model

A return to the roots, Productivity as the true source of wealth.

In a centrally managed system, everything is coordinated to benefit a top-down socio-economic order and promoted as a benefit for the masses, with whom the power elite barely interacts. Since the 70’s when the state central management of economies took root across the USA, the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer. Today the wealth divide is morphing into the ownership class-working class divide, and the new social structure, recognized by the state, is corporate feudalism, but the state’s tunnel vision is not the Eye of Providence, it fails to take in the wholistic picture.

In my role as a peer reviewer at Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, I observe the back end of the relationship between academia and the corporate world. Academic institutions develop language and psychologies to serve the purposes of the super corporation. Academia constructs new language terms, called newspeak in George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four written at a time when 1984 was as distant a future as today it is the distant past. Newspeak reflects the constructs of a man-made totalitarian superstate.
