(114,650 posts)for working people only after a bust. Capitalism runs in boom and bust cycles, the end of the boom cycle being the worst for workers as capitalists want to keep the golden goose laying eggs without feeding her. That's what eventually causes the bust.
There will be another bust, it's guaranteed. It will happen when the next part of the derivatives casino goes bust, and it will. It's very likely to take everything with it because there will be no way to bail the bankers out again. Banks will have to be nationalized in order to keep the system running.
The problem with this stuff is that it tends to starve people to death before it improves at all, so no one in his right mind would ever want it to happen.
However, acknowledging that it will is a different matter, entirely.
