What’s the cause of the current economic crisis?

How much of the current economic crisis is a crisis of spirituality?

It would be trite to come up with a simple cause and effect explanation. I will say that Western Civilization is suffering generally and that the problem is not economic. Our biggest problem in America is thinking our problems are economic and that they can be solved as such. Of the sum total of everything we need to be fulfilled, economics is a very small percentage. The fact that we are fixated on the idea that what we need is more jobs when the problems are not economic but psychological, sociological, and spiritual shows how off track we are. Spiritual people tend to do well economically because they do not let economics dominate their lives. What bothers me is not our economic situation but all the prevalent signs of a general spiritual decline in our society and culture. Service and selflessness, promise and fulfillment, character and trust have more power to remedy our predicament than does prosperity alone.
