Capitalism analogy.
MoneyCapitalism, like nuclear power, has been one of our most successful ideas for creating order from chaos, but left unchecked it will swiftly create chaos from order.
It demands our constant vigilance in order not to fail catastrophically. It can go wrong very quickly – and costs for a fortune to clean up when it does – creating decades of horribly unnecessary conditions for those caught in the fallout.
