19. Economy 2.0 – Industrial Revolution II Then, in the first half of the 20th Century, after the devastations of the Great Depression, WW1 and WW2 and due to the challenge of the Socialist states in most Western nations the former unbridled capitalism was reigned in and Greed was institutionalized State-Bureaucracy controlled Civilized by Trade and Workers Unions “Keynesianised” by John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946)
