Lets start by looking at the economy, people solve each other's problems and with money they remember each others' deeds. The world keeps on changing and people keep on inventing better and better ways of solving problems, sometimes faster but short term, sometimes long term but took a lifetime to notice the difference. In the middle of this dynamic, we started to have assets with leverage. Now, scaling up for efficiency is common sense already and that's a blessing, but the economy wants to change because time keeps on changing anew and problems may seem to be the same at the surface but they also change.
The scarcity of the world is not of time nor energy nor money but of mutual solutions
When we have a lot of stakes in the scaling up of an industry, we have a huge concern. Innovation is going to challenge the returns of these economics of scale, or should I say the increase in entropy. Innovation is going to respond to the increase in entropy but an extra problem that innovators are not going to be happy to meet is the stakes of the status quo industrial complex. Worse when they're all leveraged, worse when the employees associated with them put all of their eggs there, worse not just eggs but also credit and collaterals.
This is a forehead expander, the reason we don't have the system in place to deal with this significantly is because the very problem itself. Free market is supposed to adapt to this thing, however the free market had been instituationally or organizationally manipulated (in neutral sense) so that it wouldn't be as devastating for the stakeholders of the leveraged assets - Its HUGE - therefore the free market has not yet reached a plane where I could see forward and noticed the solution in the horizon, I don't think we are there yet because of this very thing.
I think as much as the devils are hiding in the details, angels maybe conducting espionage in the details as well. I might came up with something but what would it do? So people, find the angels in the details
