[annalpha]

Agreed, this is very much the best thing you could be doing for the world right now, Mo! Thank you!

Finally, an honest, big picture.

Ok, Mo. Let me know when you want to learn the next steps.

This was awesome, simple terms that individuals can understand to gage how we got from pre 2008 to current.
Very interesting to ponder where we are headed……2027 and beyond.
The impact of job losses across all sectors and age demographics is likely to trigger a duplicate of 2000 thru 2008 yet the investors are now seasoned to optimize sweeping gains of the board…..we are in a very interesting time.

Dear Mo. please also invite the authors of chokepoint capitalism (book). The platform and subscriber economy is making our society worse-off in terms of gradually removing the concept of ownership.

Housing in Singapore is overwhelmingly owned and built by the government and yet that country is very capitalist in orientation

Please look up legal-definitions of words you use, because the common definition of words are to the far from what the judges in our courts go by & the people will be found ignorant of what cap'italism, Cap'itol or Cap'itis diminutio maxima, is the lowest form of slave.
Coming out of the Roman Latin laws of dark(hidden) sayings. They (caped) the people with a dead corporate entity. All corporations are dead and considered legal persons with legal rights, it is not a natural person or one of the people with Creato-Given rights.
That would be why the contracts we signed government or Banks the titles & or names are a in ALL-CAPS. That has nothing to do with the English language, it's Roman Latin language. The Maxima-capitation language. Look up words in the #1 law book, with the ALL-CAPS titles: BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY in the ALL-CAPS UNITED STATES a corporation started in 1871.

What is their definition of capitalism? We don't know. It's hard to listen to these tired Marxist tropes over again without knowing what theor premise is? A lot of people have very different definitions of Capitalism. Two brilliant men spewing complete drivel in my opinion.
