Hi orda,
You are right. But I think we should fight it as best as we can. One lastingly useful thing to come out of the middle ages was the idea of service to others which was enshrined in the codes of chivalry.
"The emblem of the Order [of St John] is a white eight-pointed cross embellished in the four principal angles alternately with a lion passant guardant and a unicorn passant. The four arms of the cross signify the cardinal virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude. The eight points signify the beatitudes: Humility, Compassion, Courtesy, Devotion, Mercy, Purity, Peace and Endurance."
Nice idea. And no mention of financial brutality as virtue anywhere!
