Mystical Capitalism at Sea and Space

This Sunday 7-9PM in Los Angeles

The Institute for Mystical Capitalism traces the history of economics in the United States, primarily focusing on the evolution of consumer-driven markets and the mass consumption of industrially manufactured goods. Consumer banking, spectator sports, Detroit rock and roll, conspiracy theory, and the occult synthesize into a unified theory of post-industrial economic evolution, filling in the gaps in classical economic thought.

A pair of documentaries looking at the architecture of Mystical Capitalism. The historical development of energy accumulating structures (baseball stadiums) and currency accumulating structures (banks) will be covered.
