'Let’s today step out of the normal boundaries of analysis of our economic crisis and ask a radical question: What if the crisis of 2008 represents something much more fundamental than a deep recession? What if it’s telling us that the whole growth model we created over the last 50 years is simply unsustainable economically and ecologically and that 2008 was when we hit the wall — when Mother Nature and the market both said: “No more.”'
Of course Mr. Friedman got many things wrong in the past, but he is certainly on to something here although did he steal this post and idea from someone else? If he did why didn't he really touch the third rail (population issues)?
