Broadly felt problems with capitalism – rising inequality, stagnating wages and severe instability – have led to major global political and cultural shifts. But what does socialism actually mean?
The conclusion we draw from the U.S. story is not that efforts to reverse deepening inequality are foredoomed to failure – it is that mere reforms such as tax law changes are inadequate to the task. To make reforms stick requires going further to basic system change.
