Why Capitalism Failed

I'm reading a publication of Yale Press, a "centrist" polemic against the LeftBrain's libertarian excesses, and against RightBrain's sinister shadow of totalitarian uniformity playing nihilistic lose/lose on a global interpersonal public sector stage three of nationalistic climate annihilation, Where RightBrain's win/win golden shadow prefers indigenously universal integrity, communion of ancient multicultural diversity, playing democratically healthy win/win games on an intrapersonal through global climate stage four of 20-20 revolutionary peace as also restoring LeftBrain cognitive bicameral consciousness. Here I'm finding a Roman Catholic skewed analysis of a "sexual revolution" as sinister shadow of Enlightenment attraction to individual freedoms over social responsibility and even public sector moral rules of natural/spiritual law. While I can see and feel historic accuracy here, at the same time this Liberalism as described is not at all the Liberal Religion I experience in UU, or even the Liberal Education I receive and give in compassionate win/win dialogue and everyday conversation. Nor is this misnomer for Patriarchal Capitalism what I experience with Friends and in mature mainline Christian meetings communions sanctuaries from win/lose zero-sum Business As Monoculturally Usual way too theoretical and theo-unlogical and transcendent to inform everyday natural communication, much less ecologically healthy relationships. Nor is libertine sexualized pathology what I have experienced in the Liberal multicultural love of compassionate Earth, multiculturally interdependent EarthTribes, and ecologically healthy inter-relationships of natural/spiritual compassion. The Liberal I am concerned about conserving, and the Liberals I celebrate multicultural communion with, are strongly emotionally committed co-invested in Earth and natural law and spiritual order as an interdependently freeing web connecting egalitarian dignity of all God's/Goddesses'/Earth's living healthyLeft/wealthyRight minded-hearted polypathic polyphonic polynomials not-not ZeroSum becoming bicamerally ego/eco yang/yin nature/spirit secular/sacred liberated lovers of integrally conservational co-passions. This Liberal I would myself, with others, conserve for healthy purpose, The Liberals I conservatively know in my own reserved yet internally changing creolizing transubstantiating co-acclimating co-passioning way, would no more let go of our interdependent web of Earth's truthful trusting and beautiful nature/spirit nondual interface of Enlightenment, than grab hold too conservatively too tightly to individual rights to speak and do that would infringe on Others' rights to freely listen to transparent truths and behave with openness to change for growing healthier and wealthier and wiser vulnerably interdependent Beauty Paradise. Which, if I recall, takes us back, full circle, to the internally felt Light that originally and democratic constitutionally sparks individual RightBrain Enlightenment Eras, interdependent nutritional augmentation of organic health-webs, in response to LeftBrain Industrial-Weaponed Violent Revolutions, autonomous capitalism's fragmentation born of white male privileged apartheid. What is midway central is also narrow-way double-bound egalitarian Left nature co-arising interdependent Right holonic spirit. Now that's in the book Iain McGilchrist wrote and Yale Press also published.
