Two observations
I. Capitalism is inherently flawed
Given â A profit maximizing firm will endeavor to reduce fixed and variable cost.
Marx was right. Capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction. Larger and larger economies of scale continuously drive down fixed costs and reduce the number of workers needed. The process continues until the number of unemployed reaches a critical mass that induces change. This process has been accelerated by the availability of super cheap outsourcing that also drives down variable cost.
II. Definite purpose
The US in particular has no definite purpose. There are no definite goals to unify a diverse group. Consumption in and of itself can not be the definite purpose of a sustainable enterprise.
