You know, Freudian theory is something I know pretty well. I've got quite a few pages in Wall Street that do a psychoanalysis of credit money vs. gold-based money - a regime of oral entitlement connected with the breakdown of patriarchal authority vs. a system driven by the guilty sadomasochism of the anus driven by the law of the father. So your ahistorical version of events doesn't really hold, um, water either.
In my opinion, its difficult to generalise in the case of psychology... especially to prove a point...
