Global Meet-Up #2 (New York City): The Eschatology of Capitalism

This panel discussion features a diverse group of thinkers dissecting the 'Eschatology of Capitalism,' a framework exploring the idea that capitalism is approaching a terminal, apocalyptic state. The conversation is framed around the tension between technological acceleration, wealth concentration, and the environmental and social limits of growth.

Throughout the session, participants delve into the history of capital and how past market crashes resemble current indicators of potential collapse. The discussion evolves from theoretical critiques of neoliberalism to practical debates on whether modern economic systems possess the resilience to pivot, or if they are inherently destined to reach a 'final' state of rupture.

Segments include an analysis of labor value in an age of automation, the role of central banking in extending systemic longevity, and the psychological impact of living under a 'perpetual crisis' model. The panel maintains a high-level academic and philosophical tone, challenging the audience to consider if 'capitalism' as a system can be replaced, or if it is merely entering a new, unforeseen phase of dominance.
