I don’t consider myself sufficiently knowledgable about economics to say whether the commentator is right. I did find his point of view thought provoking though, and I am troubled by how souless our ruthlessly capitalist system has become. What’s worst about it is that we’ve (the general population) been effectively co-opted by the industrialists. We all own stock now and our retirement funds rely on the system continuing to wring ever greater returns. Our parents didn’t face such conflicts of interest.
The irony is that according to the article, the system’s ability to wring ever greater returns relies on all of us digging ourselves deeper and deeper into debt. So I’ll be spending my pension checks on debt service I guess
