Capitalism In Crisis

No system is perfect, and this includes capitalism. Americans are innovators. Let’s improve capitalism so that it works for all.
We the People Capitalism.

Humans suffer when they are not healthy. Our food industry needs to be examined and adjusted. Addictive and unhealthy foods are not good for citizens and, therefore, bad for the economy. Let’s improve health and boost the economy at the same time!

Knowledge versus Belief
Public knowledge should supersede private belief when the 2 meet in our civic spaces. Civic spaces are the courts, our congress, the Internet, and so forth.

Median household income in "blue" voting districts rose 13% in the 10-year period ending in 2018. In “Red” voting districts median household income declined about 4%.
We need a fair capitalist economy.

An important question . . .
Can Democrats worried about climate change and Republicans weary of storm damage in the Midwest and along the Gulf Coast find ways to work together? They must!

Myopic Laissez-Faire Economic Thinking
Specific economic approaches cannot be presented as an ideological enemy when it could support an economic solution or improvement.

Economic reforms are needed to ensure better competition laws. We need to manage globalization better. We need better oversight and enforcement of our financial sector. We need a "We The People" economy.

An idea . . .
Support diversity of association, not cultural insularity. Try to cultivate many of your deeply held friendships to be outside your “in group” and always strive for honesty and integrity.

Are we still a government of the people, by the people, and for the people?
No!
We are a government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation.
How can we get back to our founding principles?

The two parties have in just a few years gone from near parity on prosperity and income measures to stark, fast-moving divergence.
How can we reframe capitalism?

Carpe Diem - Capitalism In Crisis
When an economist invokes equilibrium and then looks through that lens only, doing so may obscure other aspects of emerging problems in actual economies.

Should the government help with the participation of senior citizens who can still actively participate? Forced retirement wastes human resources. A proper economic system will not waste a resource. To waste this resource increases the cost to society.

Gross Domestic Product has grown a full one-third in Blue-leaning voting districts since 2008, whereas GDP growth has turned negative in Red-leaning districts, falling almost 2%.
We need solutions!

The economy must work for all Americans.
Do our elected leaders know that 70% of the nation’s professional and digital services economy is in blue districts?
We need a fair economic system.

An Economic Divide
Not good for any of us!
Democratic voting districts have seen their median household income increase in a decade—from $54,000 in 2008 to $61,000 in 2018. By contrast, the income level in Republican districts has declined from $55,000 to $53,000.

Have we allowed pseudo-capitalist strategies to undermine our capitalist system with negative results for many in this We-The-People country?

Economic Discrimination

The pervasive discrimination in the US labor markets is both discouraging and unfair to those being discriminated against. This also suggests that workers and jobs are not being optimally matched, which reduces productivity.

Why do Americans tolerate great disparity related to wealth and income?
Why should we?
Is a just society one that tolerates great inequality in wealth and income?

Is capitalism a force for good? Some say no. But it can be. Learn how we have morphed capitalism into something that takes advantage of the many for the benefit of the few.

Fairness Matters
Economic stagnation in Red districts, with high concentrations of voters “underwater” economically, fosters right-leaning dominance on culture war-issues, race and immigration included.

In a situation where the struggling economy affects millions of people, we have to be willing to use specific "tools".

If a job moves, do the people have to move too?
Economists sometimes ignore the social cost of a job moving. A job can move, but it is difficult for a person or family. Social bonds to a community are important. We need to think carefully about jobs being moved or eliminated.
