Mr. Gonzalez places the problem mainly in the economic sphere, but by his raising the issue of eudaimonia/happiness, he has shown that it is actually in the spiritual dimension where the problem mainly lies.

To give an adequate answer to the issues he raises, we must begin by trying to understand the world in which we live. We do not live in Paradise. We do not live in utopia. We do not live in fantasy fairie land. We do not live in the political philosophers’ state of nature. We do not live in a rationalistic, scientistic, non-theistic neutral ground called the saeculum (the secular).

We live in Babylon. https://orthodoxreflections.com/the-answer-to-the-riddle-of-modern-despair-we-live-in-babylon/
