>The ideology of generating shareholder profit "has caused immeasurable harm"? Really? The author is casting aside decades of economic growth, peace, and innovation.
You mean when I was in grade school in the '90s? Because my memories of being a young adult go roughly:
* Dot-com bust
* 9/11
* Jobless recovery and War on Terror
* Rising inequality, low growth
* Housing bubble
* Global Financial Crisis
* Bank bailouts, rising inequality, recession
* Slow-going recovery, rising inequality, falling real wages
* Real wages finally start ticking slightly, slightly, slightly upward after decades
* Rising inequality, low growth
* Trump elected
* Rising inequality, low growth, economists now talking very publicly about corruption and "secular stagnation"
