“Capitalism, gaudy and greedy, has been inherent in western aesthetics from ancient Egypt on. It is the mysticism and glamour of things, which take on a personality of their own. As an economic system, it is in the Darwinian line of Sade, not Rousseau.”
— Camille Paglia 1947 CE –
Fearless and insightful status quo critic
from Sexual Personae (1990)
