(fwiw I see the appeal of being pessimistic, and not even calling it, pace Orwell, optimism :) Just trying to figure out the positive psychology of sharing*, how to reconcile that with the general idea of markets .. don't mind me. (& maybe put a positive spin on autism?) *there is something narcotic/creepy about the "abundance" mindset, which I haven't got a toehold on yet. It's like a Schelling point for people across the (political) spectrum who can't help but preemptively rationalize what their opponents would reflexively label fascism (or authoritarianism when they want to include China in the argument) Sorry to be vague, there's not a lot of legible data out there I'm much more sympathetic towards the strategy of definancialization/detertiarization-- with which Stiglitz has inadvertently steelman'd tariffs (The idea that UK has been totally f**ked by tertiarization is mainstream, & the weather in California/Florida/Texas is not necessarily helping either :) to your point, maybe, Japan & Germany** have equally unhealthy attitudes towards intellectual entrenchment, that's why their bonds are so attractive :)) https://youtu.be/vAwBDzGxpi8&t=1m1s https://youtu.be/vAwBDzGxpi8&t=1m1s ** also Asian ex-tigers https://hajoonchang.net/economists-who-have-influenced-me#:~:text=However%2C%20I%20have%20come%20to,that%20is%20grounded%20in%20reality. https://hajoonchang.net/economists-who-have-influenced-me#:~...
