Or resource allocation.

But then, these navel-gazing critiques of capitalism only work in a vacuum. Why do these men in suits assemble in these temples of finance to perform these arcane rituals, to utter these numerical incantations? It's weird, right? They must be searching for god, or maybe they never got enough love growing up. Couldn't have anything to do with actual human experience telling us that the market is the most resilient and efficient (if not always the most fair) way of deciding, as a society, how to employ our scarce resources in a useful way. The people who buy and sell abstract claims on collective human endeavours must do so out of some deep-rooted spiritual malaise and it can't be related in any way to their own very mundane desire to put food on the table and maybe even spend a couple of weeks a year in a tropical location with people they love.

No, we should probably get rid of all this weird ideological baggage. (What do we replace it with? Oh, that's not my department...)
