Strange then that in the US the "booming cities" are voting for more restrictions on capitalism than the "struggling small towns". Yet this is his primary explanation for a crisis in capitalism? Does he mean that the crisis in capitalism is caused by its success? There may be something to that. The most vocal protesters against capitalism tend to come from more economically privileged classes, judging by, say, college students versus blue collar workers. The Australian elections and Brexit referendum echoed that pattern. It's as if protesting capitalism is a luxury good.
