but that said, at the end of the day, there are countries that are stable and prosperous without exploitation on the scale we indulge in, by a huge margin.
obviously without the equivalent of political gene therapy there is nothing we can do to adopt those postures / embrace those paradigms but its still worth noting that it didnt have to be this way, and that others have somehow more or less got it right, and that sooner or later its well within the spectrum of reason (and already inevitable, according to some) that we enter a failed state where we simply have no choice but to adopt a benevolent socialist autocracy simply as an emergency measure.
what we do from that point, well, thats the interesting question, isnt it...
