"The truth is the world is coming apart at the seams. For decades, the stability in many Americans’ lives has been undermined by policies and processes that grow profits for a handful of rich people and shield them from paying taxes. Constant social transformation is endemic to capitalism. But this process is accelerated and intensified by neoliberalism, which meets a weak opposition as it promotes austerity and privatization, thus removing sources of stability without much pressure to replace them with anything at all."
