I disagree.

(1) The currency of tomorrow ... like the currency of the Western Roman Empire in the sixth century ... is brute force.

(2) How many people work for YouTube, Facebook, Google, etc?

(3) There isn’t going to be a globalized economy 10 to 20 years from now. Just because globalization has been a fad since the demise of the USSR doesn’t mean it is something that will go on forever.

(4) Yes, these companies have hired plenty of foreigners and lobby Congress to bring in ever more foreigners. So what?

(5) This problem will correct itself within the next twenty years ... the zero sum economy, the post-growth economy, the brute force world ... which we recently saw on display in Britain.

A fad? You are predicting an 80% crash in the human population here.

there was no Western Roman Empire in the sixth century -- it ended in the 400s....
