Capitalism of a Retirement Fund Market collapse...Dr Aubrey de Grey seems to be an expert in his field of genetics.De Grey was quoted in a recent BBC Four television programme about Time with a view to overturning the expected life expectancies from 75 to over 1,000 perhaps even 2,000 when all the knowledge of the human and animal genes are fully investigated. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4003063.stm From 2004 but still interesting. Perhaps the age of an educated elite with Ivory Towers and Dreaming Spires will overthrow the waning neccesity of a sporadic liberal democracy that will possibly fail when the elite is self-perpetuating. Who wants a break at 500 to study a lot of new subjects. |

As I was maybe taking a wider view than some screen watching market traders do -
OK I ignored the real time five or ten year planning that really goes on in favour of a predicted collapse not through Marxism but through the books that Marx and other educated elites might read.
