The author seems to be arguing for socialism. As he explains, liberalism is based on the idea of preserving capitalism through social and economic reforms. However, for decades now American capitalism has done fine, enriching the %1, but the general population has done poorly, and that has lead to a situation where much of the public, both Republican and Democratic, is revolting. I agree with this analysis, but I don't see where socialism, at least in its classic sense of having the government own the means of production, would be a solution.
