It鈥檚 shocking to me that there are still people who think we just need to tweak things a little bit here and tweak things a little bit there.

If you鈥檙e not willing to at least accept the possibility that unlimited capital accumulation is one of the things that can鈥檛 just be tweaked here and there, then you鈥檙e part of the problem. There鈥檚 a reason that bad and unpopular ideas keep winning.

Unlimited capital accumulation absolutely is part of the problem

Every time someone suggests that capital is the problem, you argue that some sort of balance is the answer. Balance *is* tweaking. You can鈥檛 complain about the tweakers if you aren鈥檛 willing to accept that the dismantlers have a valid argument.

You said "unlimited accumulation." I look at certain hybrid economies of Europe and think they're basically fine.

I appreciate the conversation but I鈥檒l pretty much continue to say what I want. (Not really the week for a man to be telling any woman what she can and cannot say.) I don鈥檛 need to co-opt anybody else鈥檚 rhetoric to express my opinion. After 14 books I pretty much say what I think
