Demetri references Jeffrey West's book 'Scale,' which argues that socioeconomic systems have embedded growth obligations (debt and unfunded liabilities in a debt-based monetary system) that create finite-time singularities and runaway financialization, requiring political solutions rather than market solutions.

“Jeffrey West... uses this framework... socioeconomic systems which have these embedded growth obligations... create these finite time singularities where essentially you get this kind of runaway financialization... It's a problem of claims on on the assets and that requires some kind of political solution.”
