I know I am by far an economist nor a politician. But my early 30th November has been of deeper thoughts, based on the question of how to organize our societies. If the best educational opportunities go to the haves, their position relative to the have-nots will become engraved in stone, if those in political power believe and act on th belief that labour standards like minimum wager, overtime, or the right to collectively bargain, are harmful to economic growth, then the ability of some workers to bargain for their share of the growing economy will evaporate while that of others grows stronger. How we organize our economy determines how we structure our response to the challenges from evironmental degradation, globalization, the lack of health coverage, and staggering wealth inequalities.
