Are you linking the two 'World Wars'? (With the collapse of the West)

But that isn't the American dream model is it? The entire Chicago School thinking was the concentration of capital into fewer hands. Free market was a misnomer and was/is more akin to Darwinism than an.economic model.

I would link all wars, there is always an economic victor.

What would that economic victor's end game be? (In your opinion?)

The collapse of civilisation. Capitalism by it's own designation eventually, as Marx** describes, eats itself, it's what is happening now, just as a fire burns until its fuel is consumed. Self destruction. Greed.

**I've seen the quote but not read or studiedMarx

Isn't that an oxymoron at a minimum, but akin to socialism at a maximum?
