Beyond Outrage – A book by Robert Reich. Talks a lot of stuff. Here are some points he said. We did some googling and found 4200 fear factors and think one can find at least 60,000 in a short time. How can we condense these to point people that they all can be managed under Complexity Management in Advanced Industrial Ecosystems? I have not figured that part of the publications. Anyone out there can help, I will appreciate it….He has another book called Aftershock...He said... The first thing you need to do is connect the dots and understand how many troubling but seemingly unrelated things are interwoven. The challenge we face is systemic. The fundamentals of our economy are out of whack, which has distorted our democracy, and these distortions, in turn, are making it harder to fix the economic fundamentals. Later in the book we’ll examine several of these dots in detail, but now I’d like you to see the big picture. The first dot: For three decades almost all the gains from economic growth have gone to the top. The second dot: The Great Recession was followed by an anemic recovery. The third dot: Political power flows to the top. The fourth dot: Corporations and the very rich get to pay lower taxes, receive more corporate welfare, and are bound by fewer regulations. The fifth dot: Government budgets are squeezed. The sixth dot: Average Americans are competing with one another for slices of a shrinking pie. The seventh dot: A meaner and more cynical politics prevails. Everyone knows what is wrong but do not have a real solution which we do....but understanding the process is the key to get there with real support. Thank you.
