| Capitalism and democracy. | for everyone |
What
a strange day this has been. It was hot and humid like the middle of
summer. Very, very, busy at work, and then descended upon by daughters,
daughters dogs and daughters offspring. They left, I cleared away after
them, sat down with my coffee, and promptly fell asleep………..not
something I do often. Now the evening is done and I’m off to bed. I intended to post a couple of things tonight and catch up with a few people, but now times up and I’m gone.
Before I go I must post this one video, I still don’t really know who this guy is but I’m beginning to like him an awful lot.
Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich argues that certain aspects of capitalism are often at odds with the best interests of democracy.
I love this quote, this says it all; ‘’I as an investor was better off, but I as a citizen was worse off’’………………what astute insight.
