I was indeed being sarcastic. I found it pretty galling that this guy claimed no one is speaking to these things when, as you pointed out, there is a massive body of theory dating back over 150 years that addresses these things with diligence and scholarly rigor.

You did much better than me by actually providing some references!

The people you're talking about were speaking to their time. It's not automatically clear that proposals for an industrializing economy are applicable to a post-industrial highly financialized economy
