The "boom-bust" cycle is but a mere consequence of a sociopolitical system founded upon erroneous premise of infinite growth model on a finite planet. The sociocultural consequence of such societal model is rampant consumerism, in which the overriding directive of the average drone is feeding his ravenous envy and gluttony. Unless the underlying premise of modern sociopolitical matrix is corrected, and the values of sociocultural system shifted away from worshipping vices to developing virtues, the system will continue to cannibalise itself, mortgaging the future for excess consumption in the present.
