Red Queen's Hypothesis
For an evolutionary system, continuing development is needed just in order to maintain its fitness relative to the systems it is co-evolving with.
Interesting. Describes our financial system very well, doesn't it? How much of the budget is dedicated just to paying off debt? How much of the GDP is now supported by "stimulus" and "easing"? How much more growth can this system support just for the sake of growth? We've got to move faster. Or maybe... smarter?
