I think the last decade is a sign we are living in end stage Capitalism, perhaps it’s just the beginning and we will only see further economic stagnation, lower productivity, fewer jobs and a further increasing wealth gap. Finally there will be a series of economic failures, causing governments to make fundamental changes to the global economic system. Reassessing the parameters that define progress, productivity and advancement.

I envision that a new system will no longer rely on speculative market forces, but instead go back to command style economies powered by artificial intelligence. There might even be a rise of a new monetary system, which integrates harm reduction in some form.
