And this is why the Western social science of psychology has been wrong (on purpose) for most of its existence. It didn't connect to capitalism as the environment and context within which psychology sits. Like they nearly all ignored capitalisn as though it was somehow natural and not important to their analyses of people. Mindblowing. Is it David Graber who wrote about the emergence of economic and psychology as pseudo sciences in the late 1800s developed to support the ideological, legal and cultural mechanisms needed for capitalism broader entrenchment as supposedly the only way social relations can be organised. Can't remember. Anyways it was an interesting point on the matter.
