Evidently Jon you have done some thinking about the "long term viability" of capitalism.

Capitalism ingests natural-living systems (including people) in one end, and excretes un-natural-dead garbage and waste (including wasted people) out the other -- development and progress.

Can you please explain how capitalism is viable over the long term?
