it's just too complicated.
I love reading about this stuff. The other day I read a bunch about de-growth movements. The idea made sense to me, that capitalism cannot function unless people get paid. If there's no expected return on investment, no capital flows and the machine breaks down. Ergo capitalism has innate need to keep growing, exponentially. We know that that is impossible in the long run and thus capitalism should be impossible.
There I go, a new idea has taken residence in my mind, re-writing the code of my worldview. But then I start reading about counter arguments to this theory. And those make sense too, and they're supported by math geniuses who've spent their lives studying economics.
So what the fuck do I believe? It's too complicated.
