. . . apparently there's a limit to the amount of economic growth we can generate, according to a study done by a KPMG Analysis Lead (a "senior director") regarding the predictions made in a 1972 MIT study called "The Limits to Growth". (Here's the Wiki page regarding that MIT study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth). I'd go so far as to venture that what the country is going through is a natural and necessary shaking of its institutional foundations to try to get us to recognize and deal with the risks created by the "grab all that you can" economic model that the world - particularly the US and western Europe - have followed for the last 3-4 centuries. The study apparently says that society peaked at about 1940. Yikes.
