The Refragmentation
A very fascinating article that I have truly enjoyed reading minus the last 10 or so paragraphs where Paul expressed it unequivocally that he&#x27;s a status-quo warrior and that nothing can be done to remedy the problem of the ever widening gap of income inequality in the global economy and more specifically in the US and that it&#x27;s a &quot;natural&quot; product of the state of affairs in our world. A classical example of « the naturalistic fallacy » [0].<p>Also, it&#x27;s also worrying the degree of infatuation or affection for the early 20th century years with central planning of the economy, crony capitalism, robber barons, an all-powerful big government, centralization and concentration of power at the hands of a few, regimented and uniformed society ...etc.<p>No leftie is arguing or longing for any of these policies. What we&#x27;re looking for is just more equality in economic opportunities and esp capital and that distribution of capital to be more fair across all the classes and not to be a privilege only for rich and highly connected people.<p>That&#x27;s how we envision the solution to fix this problem of &quot;fragmentation&quot; as he put when it exactly is more like a &quot;segregation&quot; problem but not based on racial or cultural factors but on economic one into two completely separate societies between the haves and have-nots, between the 1% and the 99% of the population and it&#x27;s getting worse and uglier by the day.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Naturalistic_fallacy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Naturalistic_fallacy</a>
