interesting video.... i don't understand economics, so this is mostly over my head... but what i took from this is that we're addicted to never ending growth... since never ending growth is not possible, we've hidden behind fantasy to mask our stagnation... however, that illusion can only last so long...

i do like the end of the video where it is pointed out that we've moved from the opportunity to get our own slice of the pie to eying our neighbors slice of the pie.... i'll have to revisit this video to really understand it...

anyhoo, someone needs to get this conversation started, so i thought i'd add my babble to get it going... :mjgrin:

Richard Wolfe, who is a socialist while Weinstein is definitely on the right, agrees with a lot of what he said.

American economy has been stagnant since the 70s and capitalism is failing, but being propped up by fantasy.
