Thank you. I am sad that I mostly agree with this wonderful article. I think that the foundations are shaky. While I think Trump is likely to enact policies that I think will cause harm, what I find really unbearable is not that he was elected, but that he could be elected. Mainly because this demonstrate that the system has failed to convince most people that it is worth keeping.

Very good, but one piece is missing: the new paradigm for competition. New digital technologies have next to zero marginal cost once the coding is done. Not having to move atoms around to meet a customer need, means that a "Gorilla Game" dictates speed to reach a dominant network position that creates enormous wealth for the few that work for the winners....Very different from the preceding economic models....
