Four Futures

One day, Capitalism will end.
Read that sentence again, slowly.
One day, the global economic system we colloquially understand as “Capitalism” will be replaced by a different system. No one can say with certainty what will replace it, but it is utterly absurd to assert that it will NEVER end.
This begs the question: what will replace it?
The author postulates 4 possibilities along a 2X2 matrix: Equality vs Hierarchy and Abundance vs Scarcity.
It's interesting to see how the powers that be are pushing society toward one of these futures through the lenses of these 4 possibilities. My (least) favorite possibility was Rentism, which is pushed by ghouls like Bill Gates, trying to lock as much of the world's resources behind the “benevolence” of corporations and NGO's, so the commons own nothing and everything must be rented. Quite ominous.
The book is thought-provoking and short. I highly recomend
