Hi Randy,
I think her view would be that this has always been the situation.
The insight of the SP is that economics, politics and culture are dynamical relations not separate territories.
I suppose her insight would be that the practice of isolating religion for blame as the culprit behind today's injustice is simplistic. So, actually, the problem is that, in terms of perception, the lines are not getting blurred they are getting more sharply defined so that people don't see the interactions between the three ie: the imbalances.
The problem that I see is that established religions are still trapped in a silo and unable to deal with the pluralistic world they have on their hands. This aggravates the injustice we see around us. My question: what is it about the imbalances that prevents them from coming out of these silos?
regards,
Dharma

Jim,
This is a very interesting interview. One of the messages I get from Armstrong is, were she to organize society as we do in the SP, she would likely say that the lines separating the economic from the political from the cultural are becoming very blurred, maybe even to the point is seamlessness. I certainly see some of this in the ways of the world. What say you? Are these lines disappearing and, if so, is this a good thing or something responsible people should try to counteract?
