gotta sell to somebody. not that i don't get the appeal of lebensraum.
also your wealth is likely tied to interest and asset appreciation. that goes away if demand slackens.

I agree with the wealth part but not the "gotta sell to somebody." Yeah, we need a market in a market economy but we don't al have to be buying new iPhones every 6 mos to a year. I'd like to see investment in infrastructure and renewables and shit that would actually help the economy in the long run. My wealth is mostly in real estate, and yeah, that can evaporate based on supply and demand but simply allowing America to become a massive shit pile characterized by decay and social unrest (stemming from inequality) seems like a greater threat in the long run
I'm not sanguine about continuing the constant GDP / population growth model in the future. As for lebensraum, ever been to Montana? That place is paradise. At least for a month at a time
