By the end of the day, when all intellectuality and arguments is done, it comes down to this simply fact: an economy that runs by making debts, but never paying them back but instead increasing them in a bid on future generatons cleaning up the growing mess, is a snowball system and necessarily must fail. The details of that failure may differ in the cosmetic display, but the failure is not any less real.

Our economic theories to me are very much messed, FUBAR, and hopelessly designed to party on the present at the cost of the future. And after us - the great flood. Not our business, isn't it?

We must not seek to try curing the symptoms and saving the old system that has brought us to where we are. We need a new system that focusses on real valure instead of abstract, fictional value, and where "Nachthaltigkeit" (=sustainability?) and stability overrule short-termed profit interest and the insane hallucination that there could be something like endless growth. We need a stability that fluctuates around a certain treshhold that guarantees sustainability but does no longer aim at a system of boosted growth and "always more".

Truthz is this philosophy would be needed in almost all fields of conflictg today: ressources, fertile ground and farming, sweet water, population sizes - and finances and economy as well.

But I fear this is just calling in the desert.
