Paul Singer, Doomsday Investor

Stepping back a bit. My impression (from afar in the UK) is that US capitalism, which used to be dynamic and innovative, has slowly become like a shark tank in which the sharks have eaten everything else and are now trying to eat each other. I know that's very vague and high level... but is it fair? What's up with you guys... are you OK?

I have to agree, but I thought the UK was pretty clearly sharing the same tank.

Instead of sharks, I would generalize it to the entire food chain. Early in the history of capitalism, corporations grew organically. They were essentially 'herbivores' . But they have since realized that there are many more calories (dollars) to be gained by moving up the food chain and consuming organisms which are doing that work. Ultimately, too many predators and not enough workers.
