Our Economic Situation

Citizen Abdication from governance and what we might now call state capitalism. Capital also now moves around the world to where profit is more easily available. Jobs move with capital. Jobs are more available to those who work more cheaply. In countries like the USA the middle class and upper working class disappears. Many suffer their degradement without will to govern a few, but in growing numbers chose to leave their country rather than take part in its governance. Capital power moves with capital. Some of that wealth and power has its source in state capitalism. That is they take state wealth with them often in the form of money from taxes. Citizens seem not to care what is done with their money or their labor. They continue to resist participation. They refuse to even speak of it.
