How does Business affect People?

This question, it seems to me, should be an important component in everyone's thinking. But what I see instead, is a careful avoidance of the problem. 

The reason for this is easy to see - Business has most of the money, and can call the shots as it pleases. People need jobs, and Business has most of the jobs. In other words, Business is in control of nearly everything - and it knows it. 

This problem originated relatively recently - at the end of the 18th Century, when the Industrial Revolution changed who we were. People after that time, were not the same as they were before it. But they did not know this - and did not want to know this. 

The reason for this, I believe - is our religious nature. We want to be part of an overall structure - such as that defined by medieval Christianity. This overall structure (after some terrible religious wars) became the Industrial world, dominated by Business. 

Business became our new religion. An embarrassing development, we do not want to admit to.
