Slow but steady growth that outpaces inflation is kind of the ideal. The US also doesn’t have the population issues Japan has. The Jacobian is also far left garbage. Why is this even posted here?
Jacobin is left of center only in countries that have no right wing at all. Don’t make the Eurocentric mistake in presuming the binary Europeans use is the only one or the correct one to apply everywhere.
Jacobin is seen as very poor quality source in the social science circles I studied in.
Jacobin, from the US, is in a country with no right wing? The US is only right wing, Democrats being the center right and Republicans being the fascist right.
That is only if you are using a Western European binary. There is no reason to do that unless you are oddly racist (unlikely), poorly educated in political philosophy, or incredibly eurocentric.
Many nations are authoritarian and the liberal/authoritarian binary really us the big binary as it covers all ideologies not the socialist/capitalist one that Europe uses that rules out almost every form of government that is not a democracy.
Regardless Jacobin is trash. They are so low quality that they had an author cite their own opinion article as a source for an article they wrote. That’s the equivalent of saying “because I said so”
The thing most people forget about capitalism is that Adam Smith’s invisible hand, eg the consumers, was meant to bend companies towards their will. Smith wrote a whole book on how important morality is too.
As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce.
No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.
The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.
His ideas got wildly corrupted after WW2 by those looking to resist the potential for new hitlers, and they took it WAY too far… It was never meant to
become anarchy for corporations, but if you ask a typical boomer, raised in the overpropagandized post WW2 era, that’s what it has become.
Younger folks dont have to continue that boomer
shit. We can go back to the original ideas of a decentralized economic system where consumers bend corporations to their will
It’s worth looking up who the Jacobins were, btw…
They cut the heads off the French leaders during the revolution and that lead directly to Napoleon’s rise, and he was a lot worse than what we got with Trump.

Of course, with that user name, you’d think that Jacobin, a barely left of center magazine, is far left garbage.

I’ll back you up on this. Both points.

There were company stores, child labor, and pinkertons before WW2, I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that it was all peachy before 1945.
