Uh, Capitalism
The Great Depression ended as a result of WW2 and people being drafted and entering military service, giving people who were previously unemployed or earning low wages an income along with women entering the work force to produce the weapons of war giving families even more income. Rationing caused families to not be able to buy much but when the war ended and rationing was stopped, people could go out and buy shit
*cough*keynesianism*cough* Wars only destroy wealth, they cannot create. The Second World War only sort of "covered up" the Great Depression. If I remember rightly, it actually ended around '47. Not to mention, the Depression need not have happened if the government followed some simple policies to stop aggregate demand from falling like it did.

Bugger.
So the oligarchs get richer and richer and then the population snaps, murders them all french revolution style and then we all end up in the shit. Great. However, I won't be sorry to see them hang <.< Short sighted greed is cause enough to be the architect of your own downfall.
But then if we start again we'll no doubt have an anti-capitalist outlook, despite the fact that the automation of labour on a massive scale is one of the few things capitalism has actually done wrong. Although, I'll admit it's a biggie.

Of course it doesn't. The economy has a life cycle of ups and downs, usually happening every 20 years. Tell the government to stop wasting money as the market will bounce back up eventually. People eventually need new cars, appliances, homes, etc which causes a mass spending frenzy and thus employers can employee more people as demand increases. However, people will stop buying because they have what they need which causes employers to lay off and reduce workers hours til eventually people start needing shit again
Literally no model of economics supports what you just said.

Robot fanboying aside, it is a little concerning.
Mostly because of all the filthy pleb luddites that will no doubt cause all kinds of hell when this stuff starts to hit home, It will certainly be interesting to see what happens though <.<
Quite how the economy is going to change when human labour becomes worthless and production is bordering on free... Any ideas on this one? You seem to have a real itch for economics at the moment >.>
Massive civil unrest, political instability and an unprecedented concentration of wealth upwards.

Why the animosity?
Dunno, I'm actually pretty chill at the moment. Guess it's because I secretly love you but don't know how to get your attention.

as opposed to chicago school's flawless track record?
No school is flawless obviously. Chicago School just happens to be up there, particularly now with the rise of Scott Sumner. Say what you want, it's still better than the Austrian School.

Thanks for understanding.
I personally think you should remove her as a moderator and pick Lord Commissar or Mr Psychologist. This isn't the first time and I'm getting sick of her racist shit, and I'm sure others are too.
Seconded.

Uh, Marxist economists still exist.
And most of them are dumb. Ha-Joon Chang, for instance - who isn't a Marxist but certainly studied under one and has obviously been influenced - is one of the worst economists I've ever had the misfortune to read. Central planning wasn't just killed, it was beaten up, bottled, cut and given a Chelsea grin by history. Let it rest.

Every thread has the potential to go right but you guys manage to fuck up the most simple things.

You underestimate how abysmally low our native birth rate is, and our total population was never very high to begin with.
Without a steady flow of immigrants, our federal government would quite likely collapse under its own wight and for all intents and purposes cease to exist.
Why on earth would you want to forestall that?
