America is a sick society

[Mikebert]

Having channeled my inner Trump and responded to the (economically) elitist screed Eric posted, I would point out that what is needed to resolve our economic problems today would require a reversal of the bad policies enacted since 1970's, plus new things specific to our present situation. I cannot speak to the latter, such policies would things for which history provides no guide.  But there are the policies that were changed in the late 1970's and after that shifted the economy from favoring working people to favoring their employers. These shifts were begun by Democrats and advanced further by Republicans later on.

My recent paper shows how the proworker policies abandoned in the 1970's were first introduced in the 1930's and early 1940's.
