Yes. I should've thought of this influence. A decade ago, it was already obvious that an entire political party wanted everyone to think we are just "temporarily embarrassed millionaires". I think this mindset pairs quite well with neoliberal prosperity theology.

"Neoliberalism claims that we are best served by maximum market freedom and minimum intervention by the state. The role of government should be confined to creating and defending markets, protecting private property and defending the realm. All other functions are better discharged by private enterprise, which will be prompted by the profit motive to supply essential services."

Essential. Profit. That's how we got where we are. Now we have to find a way to change the human psychology of why we got here.
