Description The good news is: that faith in material goods really does bring prosperity to society.
Using theatre as a measure society\'s health, this book shows that Ancient Greece and Rome, Mediaeval Christendom and our own contemporary society all follow the same pattern: prosperity thrives on the conviction that the material world alone constitutes true \'reality\'; but that very conviction leads to a rejection of the supernatural, undermines absolute moral standards, and leads to cultural and social disintegration..
The bad news is: that self-same commitment to material things leads inexorably to the destruction of the Civilizations it builds.
