Degrowthers are Dangerous -- Sabine Hossenfelder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GYDQU5ftBs
I have to admit that as a life-long lefty with an ideologically pro-commie anti-capitalist background, it's a hard pill to swallow that "Capitalism Bad" may not be a particularly smart take on economics and sociology from a level headed, scientific perspective.
Wealth inequality bad. Exploitation of the working class bad. Tax havens and loopholes easily abused by the most wealthy bad. Corporate oligarchy bad. These should all be fairly uncontroversial, I hope.
But capitalism bad *per se* I'm not too sure about anymore. :blobcat-notlike:
