Thanks for the link.  I've believed for some time that we need to
transition to a steady-state economy; I'm glad to see that there are
others who agree.

 Capitalism shares some attributes with cancer. I have no idea how it could
be toned down or replaced though. Schumacher's 'Small Is Beautiful' was
interesting but had no effect.

This isn't capitalism. This is debt economy.
NOTHING to do with capital but a LOT to do with socialism.
Borrow money, buy votes, tax the next generation as you pay it back to the previous.
It is the end of debt financed post war consumer economics.
