Karl Marx – a prophet and didn’t know it
Don’t know about the communism bit, but old Karl hits the nail on the head about what is happening in the economy now.
“Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism”
~ Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867
