I think most of the economic woes of the present are still largely results of 2008 and austerity

Oh its certainly still a huge factor on material conditions, at least here in the US thats for sure, but I don't know how big of a blip it will be on the average 17 year olds consciousness in the year 2030, or 2040. 9/11 will still be a big one, and covid definitely will be too (unless its just the first of many many pandemics in a row) I suspect '08 will fade into the background and be memory holed here in the US

yeah but 08 is largely why no one can afford a house which is definitely an important aspect of their future lives even if no one remembers it.

I getcha, I just don't think that being the cause of their frustrations will be visible anymore except to the politically educated, I think the true origins will be obfuscated, not arguing about its importance at all :)

yeah at this point we are talking about causes of causes

They won’t remember that because the one in the early 2020s made things even worse
