Warning: Do not read the next paragraph unless you have centrist political beliefs
The book, The Slave Formerly Known as Jane Foreman, tells the story of the world that follows a political and social collapse in our era. Of course, the future is so bright that we need to wear sunglasses all the time. Only crazy extremists would ever believe in an economic collapse in our time period. Our economists use the very best algorithms to balance hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of derivatives. Anyone who doubts the value of the derivatives would doom our cozy world. Thus, they will never collapse. Thus, the extremists have made a fundamental logic mistake.
