Just As The Financial Crisis Has Created

Acknowledging Class Was Always Difficult For 'new Democrats' - It Was Second-wave, It Was Divisive - But 2008 Made Retro Politics Cool Again.

During The Financial Crisis And Bailouts Of 2008, It Probably Occurred To Very Few Average People That We Were Entering A Period Of Hardship For Billionaires.

While Democrats Fussed With The Details Of Health Care Reforms, Conservatives Spent Months Telling The Nation That The Real Issue Is Freedom, That What's On The Line Is American Liberty Itself.

I Think There's Great Potential For Autonomy, But We Have To Remember That We Live In A World Where People May Have Free Will But Have Not Invented Their Circumstances.

People Are Born In A Certain Place, And In A Certain Society. I Don't Mean To Sound Like A Determinist, But To Think We're Entirely Free To Do Whatever We Want Betrays A Certain Class Perspective. For Most People Who Have To Work For A Living, And Work At Jobs Under Conditions They May Not Like, It's Just Not Simple When It Comes To Freedom.
