At some point you run out of other people’s money and have bread lines.
But if you don’t spend money, you will also become a failed state because the infrastructure required to generate value has failed.
So far it looks like we're going to run out of people first.
What? Bread lines are a response to poverty caused by a failure of the market and typically involve institutions giving out free bread using other people's money.
Could you expand more on how bread lines in Soviet Union were a failure of the market?
