Unfortunately, we have an economic system and national philosophy based on the idea of every man getting rich. Impossible, unsustainable and bound for disaster from the start. Mankind’s entire idea of what constitutes an economy is about to come into question at some point soon. Not just in America, but all the other (over) developed nations too. We cannot manufacture our way out of it, or spend or invest pour way out of it, through a free market “green economy.” That’s what got us here in the first place. Superheated spending to pump up a malignant economic system that devoured the earth. Joe Bageant ☀
