Transforming Sermons on "Resisting "the totalitarian regime of industry"

Preacher Milton Stanley of Transforming Sermons passes on Chris Erdman's condemnation of the totalitarian regime of industry.
Many Americans are growing suspicious of the modern assumptions that drive us to work harder, produce more, and spend more time at work; Modernity has not freed us but has made us captives of the totalitarian regime of industry. What’s more, we no longer have the reflective space to do the mental and spiritual work necessary to form the kinds of communities whose intellectual and moral life can sustain us through the “new dark ages which are already upon us” (Alastair McIntyre) . . . .
I note with delicious irony how I agree with the evil's of a culture that compels greater expenditures of our time and money...while I blog for over an hour after a day's work!
