    Fascism might not be the inevitable outcome of decades of ‘the west’s’ brand of neo-liberalism on top of the historical circumstances to which it was applied, but, all things considered, it is hard to imagine an alternative.

      Damn, if only someone could have seen this all coming 200 years ago as industrialization started to take off

        I have read capital volume one maybe two and a half times. I wonder how close to Pikkety’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century Marx might have written today. I haven’t read Capital in the Twenty-First Century but think it is worth the time and effort it would take to study. I will find the time at some point.
