A new consensus will be that if the economic order and political stability are to be maintained, then people other than owners and executives must have a stake in the system.
The last 1T equalized the economic lives of white Americans, and did next to nothing for anyone not in that class. This time it has to be broad-based, or our grandchildren and their children will be back staring at this same state of affairs. If this 1T fails in that regard, the next 2T will be explosive.
Even more so than the 1960s? That was certainly an explosive time to say the least.
When a problem recurs and is either ignored or downgraded to the point of irrelevance, it will fester and reemerge later in a more virulent form. Race has already been down that road more than once. So have income and wealth inequality. Failing to address them again won't be taken lightly in the 2T.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
