@davidho So 💥 there is this (among other things):

“Yet all the historical and comparative evidence we have suggests that the public, nonprofit and associative sectors deliver better results than classic capitalist logic in many areas, especially in education and health.”

“France has never been richer. The problem to solve is simply one of distribution. The situation was far more difficult in 1945, when public debt was even higher than today and private fortunes were depleted. Yet that did not prevent the introduction of a national solidarity tax with rates of several dozen percent on the largest fortunes, which could yield much more today. “

Since government “debt” represents the money supply, and most of the money is captured by the 1%, there’s a good reason why debt so much larger than GDP now. It represents wealth consolidation.

GDP all things considered roughly represents economic consolidation. It measures increasing energy intensity as well as scale.
