        Midway through your book and greatly enjoying it. After listening to @ezraklein interview I was reassured you omitted any prescriptive chapter. My read would be that it implies a much more far-ranging critique of capitalism, but better to reach a broader audience.

        FACTS are a stubborn thing Charitable giving in 2017 was less than half a trillion in total (including middle class donors) The govt state and federal spending is $7 trillion a year, 14x larger. So confiscate that charity $ and it's a drop in bucket https://givingusa.org/giving-usa-2018-americans-gave-410-02-billion-to-charity-in-2017-crossing-the-400-billion-mark-for-the-first-time/ …

        Thank you Grant 1985 sir for the education, but no one is simply proposing to “confiscate charity $” or even just necessarily tax the rich. I take the moral of the story to be that philantrocapitalism actually reinforces structural issues with our political economy.

        I also want thank you for bravely defending the Union, helpless underdogs like the rich, popular opinion, the fine spirit of capitalism, and of course, your anonymity. It’s important that we not know the identity of our educators, where they might be, associations, etc 👌🏻

        Never before has so much technology been applied to driving hyper competitiveness. Never before has so much metabolism-ruining ‘behavior’ brought cognitively-deranged hyper aging. Cruelty of the damned.

        Fair to say US is undisputed leading use of technology to promote goods / ideas about goods. Hyper competitiveness in ‘starship’ overdrive.

        Seems to me it's working as intended: accumulate wealth while transferring as little capital to labour as possible.
