Millions are out of work, millions (in the US) are still deprived of health care, millions have lost their homes, and we are collectively more unequal than we have been since the 1920s. Both countries will experience massive social upheavals if they don't reduce social inequality, invest massively in education and infrastructure, commit themselves to securing jobs for all who want them, change tax structures that coddle the 1 percent, rein in the anarchy of big banks by reregulating (or nationalising) them, and liberate the captive state from the financial institutions of Wall Street and the City of London.Social inequality is neither inevitable, nor the result of globalisation. It is the outcome of social and economic policies embraced by the 1 percent. This can be reversed by more social democracy, not less, by recovering the state for the 99 percent. 606 $aSocialism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01123637 606 $aPublic welfare$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01083250 606 $aEquality$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00914456 606 $aEconomic policy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00902025 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aSocialism 606 $aEquality 606 $aPublic welfare 610 $aAdam Smith. 610 $aAlexis De Tocqueville. 610 $aAnglo-America. 610 $aBeatrice Webb. 610 $aEuropean social democracies. 610 $aEuropean social model. 610 $aGrand Narrative. 610 $aGreat Depression. 610 $aJohn Stuart Mill. 610 $aMatthew Arnold. 610 $aMilton Friedman. 610 $aeconomic inequality. 610 $afree market. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $asocial model. 610 $aunemployment rates. 610 $awelfare state. 615 7$aSocialism. 615 7$aPublic welfare. 615 7$aEquality. 615 7$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aSocialism. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aPublic welfare. 676 $a320.1/1 700 $aLuzkow$b Jack Lawrence$f1941-$01058691 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798744703321 996 $aThe great forgetting$93751697 997 $aUNINA
