Chapter Chapter 7 in Whole Earth, 2022, pp 129-146 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Building on concepts developed in earlier chapters, we now examine the history of the United States more specifically, to analyze the long-term impact of the “real abstractions” of property and money on economic and human development. We will find an arc of global rise and fall for both the United States as global hegemon and for capitalism, with the remaining power based on a key currency and strong military, with degraded human skills and environment, insecure employment, economic instability, and intense political polarization.
