I really caution people against tying together every bad thing they see into a grand theory of badness. It's very seductive, very satisfying, and inevitably leads to weird niche ideas you'd never endorse from first principles. I remember for a time I was absolutely convinced that most of the problems the author describes (some of them hadn't yet happened) could be solved if the police would just be harsher on criminals.
