The Subliminal Ideology of The Capitalist Mind
This free public lecture examines how capitalism in the United States has developed into a cultural ideology that shapes identity, values, and perception. Rather than focusing on economics or partisan politics, the talk considers capitalism as a system of meaning that influences ideas about success, freedom, and personal identity. The speaker, Chicago-based philosopher Judah Venturi, draws from psychology, cultural theory, and philosophy to explore how cultural forces guide individual behavior, often without conscious awareness. The lecture aims to provide attendees with tools for recognizing the origins of common assumptions about modern life and for thinking more deliberately about which values they embrace. A Q&A and open discussion will follow the presentation. No background in philosophy is required.
