A collapse parable comparing burned forest recovery with failed human economic recovery. Ecosystems rebuild from the base — microorganisms, roots, seeds, soil, light — while human economies repeatedly rebuild from the top through wealth protection, stimulus for elites, and fragile inverse-pyramid structures.
The article frames oligarchic recovery as maladaptive: a society rebuilt around predators before its foundations are restored is designed to collapse again.
