RT (Russia Today) has interview with the author of the book A Banquet of Consequences: The Reality of Our Unusually Uncertain Economic Future.

In this special 2016 Summer Solutions episode, Max and Stacy talk to Das, author of ‘A Banquet of Consequences: The Reality of Our Unusually Uncertain Economic Future’, about the structural changes needed to halt the decline in real wages. They also discuss financialization, economic apartheid and debt jubilees.

Resource constraints might be the barrier that cannot be overcome, but technology might have the solution to that problem.
