  Boz, I have that feeling too, very strongly.

  Reading "First as Tragedy, then as Farce" by Slavoj Zizek, which is partly about the nuclear core of capitalism being one of creative-destruction... about how the dotcom bubble burst and the sub-prime bubble was immediately launched off the back of it to feed off the burst's energy and soften the blow, and how now, without any major leap forward on the cards, it will be necessary to create another artificial collapse to allow the rhythm of create-destruct-create-destruct to continue as it needs to.
