(11,833 posts)is essential to understanding our world. We have many more choices other than the post-WWI USA model. Which is running out of steam in terms of providing meaningful, enriched lives. There's a reason why those in Switzerland, Scandinavian countries, and other countries in Western Europe consistently identify themselves as the most happy folks in the world. Reading political economists and actively making themselves agents of their own lives and their own governments is one major reason, imo. For anyone interested, a good place to start is with his essay Alienated Labor. The graphic novel Marx for Beginners is also excellent. We all should understand that every country has various forms of mixed economies. We would all do well by nationalizing health care. And then banking.
Thanks for the poll, BB.
