We're also in late-stage capitalism and on the cusp of something new (either fascism/feudalism or democratic socialism). The AI/automation juggernaut will displace millions of jobs. Climate change is coming fast and is going to challenge our survival. Free markets are a wonderful thing but we're well past Adam Smith territory now.
