it would be more forgiveable if he was but he wasn't socialised that way, he chose to adopt these things and was born in st. louis

he was also regarded by a joke by the aristocracy he craved to join, he was pretty pathetic

quote:

In a series of lectures delivered at the University of Virginia in 1933, published under the title After Strange Gods: A Primer of Modern Heresy (1934), Eliot wrote of societal tradition and coherence, "What is still more important [than cultural homogeneity] is unity of religious background, and reasons of race and religion combine to make any large number of free-thinking Jews undesirable."

it's not about the destruction of wealth as such, though, it's about the removal of the advantage "The West" collectively has re: ownership of capital. finance capital is, in principle, not tied to any extensive physical resources (well, web hubs etc, but that's fairly basic infrastructure), so the way i see it the financial centers of the world would shift around, dragging the growth of the financial sector along with it. i also think that if peak oil ever actually hits we're going to see strange things happening to contemporary capitalism, but that's for the future.

certainly the political economy of finance capital is such that it will produce crises - all i'm positing here is that these crises will eventually cause established finance sectors to lose out to emergent ones, with attendant wealth transfer

alright fine

hmm well. financial capital, especially in the magnitude of international flows, is tied to people willing to give up current consumption for later consumption.

financial industries - the wage labour that goes into orienting vast bureaucracies of humans to the purpose of diversifying risk and coordinating supply chains, through only-slightly-less-dysfunctional financial instruments rather than supermassive managerial hierarchy - is certainly tied too. Human capital, embedded knowledge, old boy's networks greasing the bargaining process, can all move, but so much of this depends on complicated instruments sustained by states that their inter-national mobility is remarkably limited.

if something murders financial intermediation, it'll prolly be automation. Index funds for everybody.

No comments on peak oil or the political economy of finance, the first because it's a can of worms, the second because I'm not sure what you are envisioning with the phrase

middle class people from everywhere speak something closer to received pronounciation

rich people tend also to be slightly deregionalised but have a kind of slightly lazy rich person's drawl like prince charles
