This is almost certainly sadly true.

Too many people, companies and states would be stuck with outdated late 20th century economic models considering only their own short term interests.

The private sector is incapable of innovating or providing high quality public services at any meaningful scale. It doesn’t matter what companies or countries - they routinely fail at large scale infrastructure projects leaving the brainwashed taxpayer, believing countries have to manage their budgets like households, questioning the short term value and unable to comprehend that Governments could (and should) plough trillions into long term solutions.

Very long term economic stagnation might focus the minds but we are some distance from that.
