More About Capitalism
In a preface to an article from the Christian Science Monitor, the editor of the Progressive Review Had this to say:
Unmentioned in this story is the real reason countries are worried about a population implosion: despite it being desirable and even necessary for the ecological future of the earth, it will mean replacing capitalism with some other economic system. You can't have capitalism without expanding markets and you can't have expanding markets without population growth.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that capitalism as we know it cannot continue forever. As less and less Manual labor is involved in manufaturing and population growth slows (and it will sooner or later) there has to be a way for the average person to make a living. Failing that class warfare will be the result. Plain and Simple.
