The Decline is Observable

It’s rapidly becoming readily apparent to everyone, not just me, #WangHunin, #Simplicius, and #AndreiMartyanov, that the decline of the #imperial #UnitedStates is both a) inevitable and b) observable.

The best indicator of #real #GDP per #capita is #energy usage per capita, because everything about a comfortable modern lifestyle takes a lot of energy, energy comes into everything people do and consume. This was rising exponentially to #1972, when the rise suddenly halted. It then started fall, slowly. And suddenly it has now started to fall rather more quickly and dramatically. It looks like three trend regimes: Exponential growth starting in the seventeenth century, then #stagnation and slow decline starting in 1972, and now it looks like the beginning of #dramatic #collapse, looks like the beginning of a sharp break in the trend of slow and gentle decline.

This reflects a #regime ever more #hostile to the #men who made it great, to the #faith that made it great, the #culture that made it great, and #race that made it great.

Notice that no matter what metric is used, 1972-1973 keeps appearing as the high water mark for the #USA. That’s not an accident. 1972 was, from an economic, industrial, and demographic perspective, the moment of Peak America.

Everything since then has been nothing but #decline #disguised by the #collapse of the #SovietUnion.

Auch 2023 eher Stagnation als Aufschwung | DW | 15.03.2023

Das Institut für Weltwirtschaft in Kiel erwartet für dieses Jahr kein "kräftiges" Wirtschaftswachstum. Auch bei der Konjunkturprognose des Münchener Ifo-Institutes wird das Wort "Aufschwung" eher klein geschrieben.#Konjunktur #Stagnation #Ifo #IfW

Late Stage #Capitalism Is Weird Capitalism

When three index managers plan the economy on behalf of the 50% who own any shares (or, more realistically, on the 10% who own 86% of the #shares), they leave the rest of us in the cold. Braun suggests that the Big Three “should be expected to push the #economy towards the lowest sustainable #labor share.” And yeah, the rise of #wage #stagnation tracks the growth of index funds.
