    Yup, It’s a mess. So is every other economic model.

    So the answer is anarchy and revolution? It’s a one line diagram: shoot anyone who opposes you. No one gets rich except the upper 1% leaders (oops, nothing changes from now). Merry Christmas all.

    But it’s not linear; it’s both cyclical and progressive, like a spiral.

    Here’s a simple representation of the process and its major nodal points.

    Got that?

    I’m kidding! Actually it’s way more complicated than this.

    And your solution is? Something collectivist, no doubt…

    Free, dynamical systems work best. Attempts to “regulate” or make them “fair” distort the system, causing it to morph inevitably towards autocracy.

    The answers are to be found in maximizing individual thriving, through liberty. Society should exist to protect freedom, and prevent force and fraud, period.

    My money is on the next Pandemic (too bad it won’t be discretionary). If it is catastrophic enough, hopefully the survivors will learn from our mistakes and try a different approach. In that type of survival society, calories will be the new currency. The more worth you contribute to your group, the more food you receive.

    The problem of over production. In the political novel “Iron Heel” (1908) it talks about how the vulture Capitalists would use it to make more money and expand while short paying their workers. Not a good kind of Capitalism. One that can be put back on track.

    The top tier rich expect to be immune from it.

    “calories will be the new currency. The more worth you contribute to your group, the more food you receive.”

    Is that why we in the USA have the fattest poor pitiful poor in the world?

    yeh, how dare those million billionaires that make more then 250,000 a year be immune from anything! They did not build it. They just took it from everyone and should be made the evil nasty villain that Obama can slay and save us all from going over a cliff.

    but but you have been preaching killing cops and blowing things up and murdering rich in cold blood. You mean that will not solve this problem of evil capitalism?

    I agree. I cannot read this, sorry.

    They have been instrumental in causing many of the financial woes including nearly sinking the economy back in 2008. Bad news our Reich wing president and his Federal Reserve have paid all the criminals back so that they can do it again.
