Richard Reeves: "Capitalism is failing."
Richard Reeves has a new piece up at
Brookings: "People want a job with a decent wage – why is that so hard?"
❝ Before capitalism, there was work. Before markets, before even money, there was work. Our remotest ancestors, hunting and gathering, almost certainly did not see work as a separate, compartmentalized part of life in the way we do today. But we have always had to work to live. Even in the 21st century, we strive through work for the means to live, hence the campaign for a “living wage”… [Brookings.edu]
