Does anyone have any good sources on capitalism beign fucking AWFUL for your mental health/well being? I'm writing a paper on alienation and I could have sworn I had concrete sources for this lying around but I appear to have lost what I had.

    Capitalist Realism discusses it to some extent. Fun fact! Bullshit jobs actually delves on the psychic damage that capitalism creates by creating bullshit jobs that are fundamentally useless. Delving on the concept of play as a child discovering they have the power to affect their environment, and it is one of the things that makes us fundamentally human. The creation of useless jobs basically robbing these workers of that ability to profound psychological harm.
