Yeah, it all seems pretty bleak when you put it that way. The system will NEVER CHANGE itself though, it needs to implode or be over-run by force. What do you think the catalyst will be? Will there be one or will we just run that rat race right in to our own annihilation?

We've made the economy our dominant institution. If we wish to regain control over it, or replace it, we'll have to strengthen our other institutions, which will mean making them independent of the economy first.

It'll happen, but who knows what will spur the change or when it'll occur.
