    If you had told me 30 years ago that China would be “Brave New World” and the US would be “1984” I would have thought that you got it backwards.

      30 years, yes, but for the past 15 or so it’s been clear that China is pulling way ahead in every metric. I think home ownership has been in the 90s% for a long time. Likewise, the fall of the American empire started with Reagan, it was clear where this train was headed, capitalism will always end in fascism.
