Still can’t get over the fact that an editor of the Financial Times said that we need to do away with #capitalism in order to deal with the #climate. If that’s not a sign of mainstream economics/finance finally waking up to the reality of the situation we’re in, I don’t now what is.

I would think capitalism is a good product producing system, but it needs government oversight to direct it and keep it honest. It only looks bad now because one of our political parties has been bought and paid for by successful and unscrupulous capitalists, damaging government oversight and guidance significantly.
