George S asked in Social ScienceEconomics · 10 years ago

Like you are, will your descendants blame the economic ruin they cause on the wealthy people they envy?

Will our descendants blame the economic ruin they cause by squandering and overpopulating on the wealthy people they envy like we and our ancestors did? Will they again go far into debt pretending they too are wealthy? Will they excuse the overpopulating cultures spewing hordes of excess labor undercutting their wages, taking their jobs, and tearing away the industries sustaining their economies like we are and our ancestors did?

Will they do it all again like we and our ancestors did nearly a century ago while yet again blaming the same fall guys?

PS: Sorry I obscured the question last time with unnecessary rhetoric.
