So what’s your point? How can arithmetic (money) be a “hard asset”? The simple, unavoidable truth is that an economy based on a zero-sum money game, which can only thrive on endless “growth” of extraction, production, consumption, and waste of commodities, and which depends entirely on a finite energy source (fossil fuels) which is causing a spike in global CO2 emissions…is fundamentally incompatible with a finite planet. The global market economy is therefore the Cancer of the Earth, which is now terminal.
