Joseph Schumpeter is credited with coining the term 'creative destruction of capitalism' in reference to the change of economic infrastructure from industrialism to post-industrial tool-kit. That creative destruction has the side effect of destroying the planet's ecosphere as a bi-product or externality. Plainly stuffy capitalism as ecospheric vishnu defenders need to destroy their own ideas about what capitalism is and adapt to a post-trash-the-ecosphere new way of capitalism.
Environmental
economics that are adaptable to present national and global
challenges require intelligent design of political parameters
responsive to meeting the challenges to the synthesis of social
economy and ecosphere. Capitalism in its present evolutionary form is
demonstrably inadequately responsive to challenges of habitat
loss, mass species extinction, global warming, oceanic pollution and
dislocation of economic and physical security of the citizens of the
U.S.A. and world. In theory capitalism with intelligent design
parameters established politically would better work to satisfy political and consumer needs.
Mass
media sycophants of concentrated wealth and power get news
feed from government and corporate releases largely. Reiteration of
ethics values of concentrated wealth form the bulk of the political
socialization of the masses encountering the mass media, hence those
values of evolutionary capitalism instead of capitalism under the
direction of intelligent design gather together like a pelaton in a
distance bike race riding through ecospheric and economic eschaton
waiting to crash down upon them like a spring-loaded hyper-Maxwell’s
hammer.
Plainly
one wonders if the Federal Reserve can print up money to
buy U.S. bonds and issue zero interest loans to large banks as a
permanent feature of the U.S. economy without causing hyper-inflation
and devaluation of the value of the dollar. Another potential problem
is the large number of dollars held abroad in relation to the
quantity held by Americans-will Americans be able to afford to live
in their own nation if they aren’t part of the 1% in the future?
One also wonders if the Denver Broncos will win the Super Bowl, if
Lebron James will go to the Cavaliers, Lakers or Nicks and where Carmello
Anthony will be this fall-a dual gunner with the Lakers’ Kobe
Bryant?
Present
Obama has had seven major policy achievements in his 6 years;
1-Obamacare
2-Queering
the federal government
3-Making
Bush tax cuts for the rich permanent
4-Getting
a Sunni Caliphate started in the Middle East
5-Forming
bad diplomatic relations with Russia and Germany
6-Running
the money printing presses copiously without causing hyper-inflation
7-Building more public debt in one term than G.W. Bush in two
7-Building more public debt in one term than G.W. Bush in two
It
is the last policy that is remarkable and a cause for wonder. It
seems as if a new age of economics has arrived long after Nixon took
the U.S.A. off the gold standard; the Federal Reserve can
just issue more money to buy U.S. bonds and fund the cost of
government and make zero interest loans to large banks- free
money effectively so the rich can buy up global business
opportunity. There must be some unintended consequences
for that-I just can’t say what it is.
In
Afghanistan however the probable fraud that bilked the Adullah
Adullah Presidential run seems set to marginalize the Shi’a-Tajik
candidate and ensconce the Sunni who can perhaps work better with the
Taliban after the U.S.A. accelerates withdrawal of most remaining
forces. President Obama doesn’t evidently have much concern about
the re incipient necessity for a partition to spare the Northern
Alliance oriented partisans the embarrassments of protracted Sunni
oppression post-N.A.T.O. occupation. Realistically the U.S.
Government should consider plan B to partition Afghanistan and
reinforce the Northern Alliance if we are returning to a pre-2001
configuration eventually. Maybe Iran can be of help in reinforcing
the Northern Alliance if they aren’t too busy reinforcing the Iraqi
Shi’a under siege from the Sunni Caliphate in Northern Iraq and
part of Syria.
The role of the U.S.A. in developing a broad Sunni
terrorist infrastructure in the Middle East is sadly evident though
perhaps more a result of ineptness rather than intention. I hope they
do not transform behind the wave ineptitude into further
destabilization of the Middle East politically-that can bring
economic and ecospheric harm as well.
