An old world is angrily disintegrating. We can call it late stage capitalism or whatever, but it’s any political or economic system guided more by short term profit than by the needs of people and planet. The status quo is threatened by nothing so much as by radical compassion.

No no no. Don't try to "or whatever" this. It is exactly late stage capitalism. Bc what other system right now is guided by short term profits? Don't try to muddy the waters. Thank you for finally, kinda, saying what the problem is.

Not all of us see the world through that filter. Feel free to if you wish, and others are free not to. There’s more going on than just economics.

I see what you're saying Ms. Williamson, but capitalism is the root of our problems because the economics control everything else. If you can point out a problem that doesn't involve capitalism I would be intrigued. Also, thank you for responding.

Definitely I can! Money in politics. Deregulation. The Koch brothers. Dark money. Those things would corrupt whatever economic system we established. But I understand what you're saying; the overfinancialization of the world is definitely the core problem on a political level.
