This could be describing any country on the planet.

Shantytowns have been growing across the US for almost 30 years.

Unions are just formalized reality, like fiscal economics, politics, etc

IMO, while we may not live to see it, I’m pretty sure out last 100-150 years of economic thought is, big picture style, on its way out.

It may take decades but once everyone is a gig worker, the political argument for universal healthcare will be undeniable.

IMO that’s more in-line with someone like Adam Smith, whose only condition for a market was free movement of workers between a market of opportunity.

This has somehow been mutated into a market of goods and services, probably out of laziness.
