You seem versed on the conservative point, I guess you just gotta read you some Marx. Consumption driven free market capitalism seems to be on its way out, like it or not. It's not a bad system, but it failed to account for continually rising debt, which made it too volatile for most people's tastes. Whether the new thing, call it what you will, socialism 2.0, welfare capitalism, whatever, turns out to be better or worse is questionable. Human societies do seem to have an upwards trajectory in living standards as time goes by, but the next decade or so is gonna piss a lot of people off.
