Great piece from Bloomberg, thanks for sharing. Whilst the US does project itself as the bulwark of free speech, free markets and free thinking its history of protecting them has been cyclic.
I fear we are going through a particularly nasty regression right now.
It’s a perfect storm of liberals moving to cities, slowness to redistrict suburbs hence giving them greater voting sway and also the effect of suppression in wages amongst blue collars and likely all sectors to be honest as globalisation waves its sword and brings 100s of millions out of poverty in the East and also as regressive tax law enriches holders of capital to an alarming extent.
I don’t know what the antidote is - it sometimes feels as if it could go the way towards WW3 at one extreme or people coming to their senses and realising that the promises of Trump and Brexit enrich only the profiteers.
