I don't think people were really happier back then, before the things you say are the problem. In fact I'd bet anything people were significantly less happy. You blame capitalism, but I doubt that people under communism were happier.
Frankly the world is getting better every year. Not quickly, but gradually. I welcome a world where our biggest problems come from Coca-Cola and vacations and video games.
- erikpukinskis 11y agoI agree. But I think we will be happier when capitalism is partially (mostly?) displaced by voluntary participation in anarchist syndicates that control a meaningful set of resources. I don't know what proportion is right, but I strongly suspect the near-100% private/government ownership of resources we see today is not optimal.
