minus-squareAJ Sadauskas@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·4 months agoJust last week, John Quiggin released a book on pretty much this exact topic, called “After Neoliberalism”. You can download the eBook for free, or order a printed copy here: https://press.anu.edu.au/publications/series/global-thinkers-series/after-neoliberalism If you’re interested in an in-depth look at the economic and government policies that erosion of the middle class happened, it’s worth a read.
minus-squareSeagoon_@aussie.zoneOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoThe law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from off the goose. The law demands that we atone When we take things we do not own But leaves the lords and ladies fine Who take things that are yours and mine. The poor and wretched don’t escape If they conspire the law to break; This must be so but they endure Those who conspire to make the law. The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common And geese will still a common lack Till they go and steal it back ~Late 1700s

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose.
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.
The poor and wretched don’t escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back
~Late 1700s
