Law professor Jedediah Purdy believes that rather than being widely accepted, democratic capitalism “will continue to generate its own opposition, because it leaves both material needs and the appetite for recognition unsatisfied.”
“Given the inhuman scale of ecological crises like climate change and food insecurity, family farming offers a seductive mythology, anchored in a fantasy of permanence and human scale.”
Contrary to the popular narrative, “lower-income and less-educated people aren’t the only voters backing Trump. Trump supporters … are rich and poor alike. They are law school grads and high school dropouts. Trump is leading the pack in every corner of the GOP, not just the working class.”
