The Green New Deal IMO

AOC’s Green New Deal that she said would cost 11 trillion dollars, is a kind of sophomoric try- a well intentioned one, at reforming the economy to address global warming. I write science fiction occasionally and have been aware of the problems that humanity brings to the ecosphere with its mal-adaptive economic relationship to the environment a few decades. It forms the minor themes in a couple of novels; where human beings face the challenge of finding new planets and other places to live after they destroy their own original planet’s ecosphere.

It is possible to design an economy suitable for the present demographics and condition of the ecosphere yet it is very unlikely that human beings in the U.S. Congress could or would do so. The politicians are very superficial in comprehension of ecological economics as an academic discipline.  One might expect chimpanzees to do equally as well. The politicians do not comprehend political philosophy or the value in reforming democracy and reforming capitalism together instead of migrating to socialism. Neither have the politicians the political capacity to coordinate public support for complete economic reformation compatible with sustaining the world ecosphere, life on earth, spiritual and political liberty. A disciplined, creative ecological economic reform with strong civil rights for individuals are nearly incompatible without very intelligent democratic leadership, and the Democrat party is mostly dead and chasing after every traditional economic goal, power and depraved sexual vector.

Capitalism moves towards monopoly, the concentration of wealth and power. Von Mises understood that. Reform of capitalism to keep it more egalitarian is needed-always, or 1% of 1% become de facto imperials
