fantastic polemic -- utterly false dichotomy. We are in an age of massive systems, and systems-thinking is called for..
Presently, that is secondary; the limiting function is the ability of civilization to maintain the interest payments to those private institutions mandated to create the money supply.
One of these concepts is necessary; the other is not.
Creation of dynamic money supplies based on the one limiting function is possible, and there are emerging mechanisms becoming available to support such money at scale — and make it available to the other ~4 billion people entirely unserved by the present system.
Care to comment on why this conversation is a “polemic”, and such a future is unimaginable?
