Michael Hudson — Due now

So how does this end?
Michael Hudson: Ha! The same way that Rome ended. In Rome the oligarchy always overreached itself, impoverishing the economy. In Rome that led to a Dark Age. We’re going to be entering something like that at the end of summer in this country, because you’re going to have many homeless pouring onto the street, many families losing their homes, small businesses who’ve had to go under, medium-sized businesses that have decided to sell out to the large private capital funds. The economy is not going to look very pretty...
When do they pass out the pitchforks and torches? Oh right, we already live in a police state, so no worries.

As Mark Blyth said, The Hamptons is not a defensible position.
