I think the real problem with the world right now is aging demographics

Is this even a sensible framing? To seek the one main thing wrong with the world right now?

It's a variation of that silly debate game of choosing "money, sex or power" as the thing that "moves the world".

WWII was caused by global populism and tariffs just as we are seeing now. I think it makes sense to assume rapid changes in the financial market can cause populism, price controls, tariffs, etc..

Maybe you're right that the political instability isn't due to the global financial markets though. I just thought we could be reliving some form of history.
