Market factors apply to everything these days. It's pretty clear to me that the book was written to appeal to two primary age groups of readers/customers/consumers. So, who is parochial and provincial in the way they view things and think. We are sitting in the Gilded Age right now and our side has decided to begin moving forward with or without blue consent. We've been doing business with the world since we started out as a country and I expect that will continue. As I've told you, the Republican voters aren't dumb or as backward as you claim.

FYI: the economy has been more or less stagnant for the past decade or two. That's why inflation is near zero, if it isn't negative at this point. Who, in their right mind, would prefer a sclerotic economy to a vibrant one? Here's a hint: to get a vibrant economy, more people need more money to spend. 70% of the economy is consumer spending, after all, and your income is their spending. So yes, Republicans are dumb -- all of them.
