Every day, you walk the streets and try to find a logic in what you see. Need in the midst of glut. Relentless destruction of the global natural resources that keep us alive. Hot money slashing around the world’s financial markets, creating wealth without material benefits. Clinging to outdated technologies, protected by powerful economic interests. Everywhere, that unwillingness to face the facts.
You have been told that yes, there are imbalances and market failures, but There Is No Alternative. Mature capitalism is the only game in town. But you cannot quite bring yourself to believe it. We are the Science Fiction Economics Lab, and we feel like that, too. You are in the right place.
