Capitalism relies on growth. No growth or negative growth means capitalism collapses and all of the hoarding that the rich and powerful have been doing was meaningless. Capitalism grew out of Mercantilism which was an extremely similar economic theory but Mercantilism largely assumes that any trade is bad because someone is "winning" and someone is "losing" meanwhile capitalism learned that trade is good because the same money can be spent more times by more people. The short term solution is to create significant financial and other incentives for people to go into healthcare, particularly CNAs because a larger aging population than the working population will require lots of CNAs to care for the elderly. Right now these workers are woefully underpaid and largely abused by both their patients who lack the mental faculties to know what they're doing and their workplaces which are increasingly frequently owned by private equity permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago* (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 point 11 months ago Oh absolutely without actual government action the overall population decline will be catastrophic. Basically if it's handled the way that climate change has been, our kids/grandkids/great-grandkids will be screwed because it's a similarly significant world-wide challenge for humanity that like climate change will require some changes to how people live and run the world. However, unlike climate change, population decline won't necessarily kill off humanity entirely, because it will self-resolve one way or another, either by society collapsing due to the medical system collapsing or by actual social change to adapt to the normalizing population level permalink fedilink source parent [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago (4 children) I'll help China make some babies!
