Politics that lacks a moral dimension can never solve society’s problem because it doesn’t address its origin. When capitalism disconnected from its ethical center, permitted to operate along strictly amoral lines, humanity became vulnerable in ways we had never been before.

Capitalism has no ethical center. Politics that allows for privately captured land rent makes for an unethical, immoral political economy.

if you go back to the origin or the grant of the corporate charter in the US, back in the 1790s, you see the start of the separation of civic duty from the enterprise. So, when a CEO claims maximizing shareholder value is the sin qua non of his/her role, the truth becomes clear.

It comes down to this: Do individuals in our government speak and act to benefit the well-being of everyone? Or do they speak and act to benefit only themselves and their rich supporters?

When problems are within people's tolerance,people can tolerate them.But if it's beyond people's capacity, it's a national disaster.

Greed consumed us over 6 thousand yrs ago resulting in the Assyrian Empire - the first civilization. The wealthy exploited the poor. Women became second class citizens. Society was terrified for its future. We haven't learned why. Until we do we can expect more of the same.
