Money is the alienated ability of mankind. That which I am unable to do as a man, and of which therefore all my individual essential powers are incapable, I am able to do by means of money. Money thus turns each of these powers into something which in itself it is not – turns it, that is, into its contrary.

What do they call the feeling of nostalgia for an "imagined" perfect past, not even a real one?

On a second thought, almost all nostalgia is a feeling of longing for an imagined past, not a real one.
The perfect past is only perfect as we remember it now (not as we lived it). It's only perfect as a past moment, as something we can look at from a distance. Just as we enjoy war movies because we're watching them through a screen, and not actually living through the war.

I guess nostalgia is simply: The past, beautified and reimagined. By feeling nostalgic, we create a myth of a blissful past so we can distract ourselves from the imperfect present... Which is not necessarily a bad thing to do.
