Pondering the Chris Hedges quote above - could it be that in the long run of civilization where things like health, knowledge, information, material goods and so forth were in fact hard to come by so that they were valuable in and of themselves. Now these things are relatively easy to acquire thanks to technology, etc. and abundant so the financial margins are no longer in their creation or distribution but rather in removing them from the market rather than getting them into the market? Manufactured scarcity in other words.
That there is money to be made in not producing more wealth, information and material goods (productive capitalism) but in fact incentivizing the destruction/distortion of those things themselves or the markets ability to produce working versions of the same (a manufactured rentiers market)
Just a thought.
