British satirists John Bird and John Fortune performed this depressingly accurate sketch of how the markets work on the South Bank Show in October. Modern prophets warn of the day when the actions of humankind will inevitably lead to the extinction of our species. Capitalism is our asteroid. As stupid as we are, I’m simply amazed that we’ve managed to last this long. Any additional time we manage to sneak past the celestial meter maid is icing on the cake.

Thanks! Good stuff. Should I feel comforted that financial analysis is often as insipid as political coverage? I can’t decide…

Capitalism has been proved superior to any other social structure, but we see not capitalism, we see socialized capitalizm, which is failing. Welfare system, existing and feeding off the working people, with those multiplying faster and producing siomilar offspring without any moral or social values, except how to feed off the working and thinking class. Socialism is desting for self destruction. And if we continuo socilize capitalism, it will be self destructing too. Simple solution - don’t work, don’t eat. Apply social Darwinism, without welfare and society will become healthier and more survivable.
