So what I think we really need, and this is important even when we think about the corrective mechanisms that I spoke about.

not just in the US, but the world economy.

We need these institutions working well.

So if I had the ear of somebody, you know, in a position of influence, this is what I would emphasize.

We really need to start rebuilding, reinvigorating our institutions, because without that, everything sort of starts falling apart.

The unfortunate situation we are in right now, though, that those who ought to be rebuilding or strengthening the institutions are the very ones shredding them because it is in their interest to do so.

So it's going to take a lot of effort, Herculean effort, as I talk about in my book, from everybody playing their roles to bring us back from the doom loop.

Thank you so much, Ed Scott.

That was a great conversation.

I really enjoyed it.

And let's all hope for a better world for each of us and our future generations.

Amen, brother.

Thank you, Professor.
