QUESTIONS WEEK FOUR

1.      Comments on today’s reading? Seeing complexity of trying to make capitalism more democratic?
2.      Reprise By ignoring these underlying choices markets vs govt and other social issues attention is diverted from the underlying choices. “Don’t look behind the curtain”
3.      The Threat to Capitalism? All rich to the top vs. purchasing power. Most valuable property is intellectual property. Underfunding, corp reps as regulators, Lack of enforcement, low fines make enforcement weak. Note how theme of this election is that the game is rigged. Will America choose Pragmatism or fascism?
4.      The Decline of Countervailing Power The essential challenge is political rather than economic. Why is Glass-Steagall important. Why do Americans feel powerless?
5.      The Restoring Countervailing Power How do we get a set of alliances so as to have a countervailing power?

6.      Ending Upward Pre-Distributions Which changes Reiche offers do you think are possible and effective?
