Reply #28: When the economy stops growing, it becomes a zero-sum game. [View All]

For one person to make more money, someone else necessarily needs to make less. The old rationalization that "a rising tide lifts all boats" will no longer hold. As the economy starts to contract more and more people will be shoved out. The economic elite will try to impose some kind of feudalism or caste system on humanity while spouting empty promises about "fixing" the economy. I predict the mother of all class wars.
