Keeping with the American tone here but harking back to different times, and giving context to a very interesting economist might I recommend Michael Hudson’s piece on his dad: http://michael-hudson.com/2017/06/dads-many-proverbs/.

As a Michael Hudson ‘fan’ thank you Lennie for the above link.

This sort of stuff is fascinating as it reveals that the USA is not as naturally disposed towards neo-liberal capitalism as the media makes out.

The US is much more politically diverse – as the existence of Bernie Saunders points out ( thank you to Michael Moore for enabling me to discover him).
