Capitalism and Inequality
&quot;The one part of the economy that seems immune to re-imagination is the government. If we were to force it to go through the same technological revolution that the private sector is going through, we would see massive efficiencies, and massive job losses, that would free up a huge amount of capital that could be used to pay for things like medical care for all, affordable education for all, and some amount of income for all.&quot;<p>What would this look like?  The author doesn&#x27;t really back up their claims from the first stanza with this massive hand-wavey argument.  I am all for reimagining the government but I&#x27;m a little wary of throwing technology at a problem and expecting it to go away.
