The Four Horsemen (of the GRiFTer Economy)
3.1. The Four Horsemen (of the GRiFTer Economy)
"So that's a brief history of capitalism, George, which I hope you found enlightening?"
George offered a somewhat resigned nod of agreement.
"And I hope you can now see why we need to demystify it, rather than assume it's a fact of life just because that's what we've been told for the past 250 years. And just because it may have worked back then doesn't mean it's the answer to our problems today. The fact that capitalism is now killing the planet sure helps focus the mind."
"Couldn't agree more," confirmed George. "But that's the past, and as I've asked you several times now, sir…" George now ran a couple of steps in front of the Director and turned to face him. "WHAT'S THE FRIKKIN' ALTERNATIVE ???"
"It's coming, it's coming," replied the Director, holding his hands up in mock surrender. "Just a couple more things to get off my chest before I deal with that. Because I need to bring you bang up to date with just how crazy the whole thing has become."
"It gets worse?" George’s face fell.
"I'm afraid so," replied the Director. "To be honest, I'm just getting started."
"Shit…" was all George could think to say.
