On: One of the most sobering reads on our economic future... from our friends in Moscow...

[gojomo]

Marxist revivalists who are again predicting (or perhaps just rooting for) a collapse of world capitalism are not: (1) credible; (2) Hacker News; (3) "our friends".

[swombat → gojomo]

Mind you, there's plenty of non-marxist reasons to predict that the parts of the world economy will be royally fucked for the next few years.

[hugh → swombat]

Could be, and there are plenty of non-Marxist articles on this subject which we could be reading instead of this load of garbage.

Though personally I don't want to see economics articles unless they're narrowly focused on, say, startups or technology.
