The last century was by far the best century in the whole of humanity history. Specifically switch of China from centrally planned economy to "socialism with Chinese characteristics" [0] was the biggest miracle ever. Especially after the absolute disaster of the Great Leap Forward that caused the Great Chinese Famine and other failures of centrally planned economies like Holodomor. The default for humanity is ever-present death due to diseases, hunger and thirst. In 1820 6 out of 10 kids would die before they would get to be 5 years old. Imagine having 6 kids just for 4 of them to be dead before they got to be 5 years old. Today poverty is the lowest it has ever been, basic education and literacy is the highest it has ever been [1]. If this is how the collapse will look like then I'm all for it. I also recommend "Don't Panic" by Hans Rosling [2].
