>>509318537 (OP)political economies are built to fail. they're pyramid schemes that depend on constant expansion of the money supply to offset interest payments on accumulating counterparty debts. beneath the surface level, this ponzi is sustainable as long as there is a constant flow of new goods and services into the underlying economy to backstop the ever increasing monetary creation. as soon as unlimited growth of real economy fails, the unlimited growth of debt/money supply also fails, bringing the entire ponzi scheme down. this typically takes about 250 years, or 4 to 5 generations of workers to achieve.
