Materialism, Terry Eagleton

Physicians talk about burnout as a novel phenomena. Reading Eagleton today reminded me that alienation is the structure of contemporary economic life: “..men and women cease to recognise themselves in the material world they produce. The products of their activity, once appropriated by a system of private ownership, cease to be expressive of that labour, so that individuals become strangers to themselves.”
