Are we witnessing the end, or at minimum curtailing, of the Western Disease - unbridled Capitalism?
Was looking at the demise of areas of Detroit via GoogleCam yesterday. Very sobering as capitalism seemed to have passed many areas by ~ 2008. By 2013 vacant lands were left.
Capitalism leaves an incredible Tsunami of utter destruction in its wake. The illusion of wealth for all does not flesh out on the ground. It becomes an exploitation vacuum cleaner for the rich & greedy - who feed off the poor & needy.
I suspect that the time-scales for Capitalism probably run into generations & possibly hundreds of years, before they wind down. This leaves the impression of the system being all that most people know, or have ever known.
