I'm so tired of the phrase 'late stage capitalism' as if someone can just throw it out on the table like it's a reverse-uno card and it ends the discussion.
There's so much more to this topic than just 'late stage capitalism'
- FiniteField 3y agoNot to mention that the phrase has existed for over 100 years, which is quite a long "late stage" for an economic system that's arguably only a few hundred years old. It's used in conversations like religious doomsday predictions, to conjure up the idea that the collapse of capitalism (and subsequent revolution) is coming Any Day Now. It wears especially thin when people use the phrase to imply that companies overlooking the environment in the following of money is a brand new thing.
