An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
When we get to that point, humanity will adapt by moving beyond capitalism, just as it moved beyond the feudalism of the Agricultural Age during the transition to the Industrial Age. This is being realized and considered already now that we are leaving the Analog Age and entering the Digital Age.
Most of the "experts" today grew up in the Analog Age and are incapable or thinking in the native language of the Digital Age. So progress will be one funeral at a time and change will come from digital natives.
I want to mention another article at the Aeon site: https://aeon.co/videos/why-some-chinese-millennials-are-taking-up-the-hermit-s-life-in-the-mountains

That's a hopeful view Tom, hope you are right. The other option as Bob says is our extinction (or near it? and regression to stone age).
With so many morons in power I'm not sure what will happen.

Hey, I didn't say the "phase transition" from one state to another state of the system was going to be easy, and nature's experiments do fail.
