I don't find any evidence of this in Pynchon's books. And
I'm still waiting, as is CFA, for one page, leaf, scrap, 
one passage, paragraph, sentence, from any Pynchon text that
will convince me otherwise. 

Pynchon's critique of Capitalism(Weber)/Religion is very
specific and very American, as in Melville-American. What
day does the ship set out on in Moby-Dick? But does Melville
think that the Harpooning "savage" should not get more
stocks than the unlettered and inexperienced Ishmael? How
about that Ship on the Mississippi, April Fool's day? There
is a reason why Pynchon turns to Bartleby to write Lot 49
and his Sloth essay, but to say that P is not a fan of big
greedy corporate Capitalists, is to say, what? I don't like
Mike's post because he's right but he's got no support. It's
about a conflict, brotherly or christian charity and
capitalism. Capitalism, I suggest, doesn't win and charity
fail, but it keeps open the possibility (and P is all about
Possibilities and not solutions) that we are moral or even
natural or by  necessity our brother's keepers.
