rkm, isn't the onus on you to provide evidence that this cycle is at an
end, particularly since its been going on for a few thousand years. There's
a lot of evidence out there that this cycle continues - "The Spiral of
Capitalism and Socialism" cited by Richard N Hutchinson, is a very recent
text that summarises and puts forward a lot of evidence to suggest this
we're not at the end of history yet.
