Umair Haque – Medium:
Rather than looking at America through the lens of the present — “oh my god, what did he do today!! “— I want to ask the question: has American society ever worked?
By “worked”, you can think that I mean two economic criteria. First, according to its own standards of life, liberty, and happiness. Second, a little more formally, whether its economy has ever really been capable of delivering rising living standards broadly.
Another thought-provoking essay by Haque. This one will jar you, I think.
Ask yourself, is he wrong? Slavery, segregation, stagnation. No grace period between.
Read. Think. This is the reasoning for fundamental change in America.
