Tom Murphy is good reading. I tend to pass along his posts to my son -- of the few things worth the time when one is busy -- and while more philosophical musings can have more meat to them, there is no way around large numbers . . people, systems, etc.

As a magical belief system capitalism has had few peers through history. And the resentment, fear and anger of many, if not most folks won't be pretty when the little they have is threatened (the crux of the perception).

David Graeber, though on a slightly different wavelength, also has food for thought.

What is certain is that the future won't be like the past.
