Se strinjam z Markom Thomo – Bernie Sanders bi lahko naredil več za socialno demokracijo v ZDA od pragmatičnega inkrementalizma Hillary Clinton, ki je na plačilni listi Wall Streeta. Toda Sanders je neizvoljiv.
Hmm, mar res? Iowa je pokazala, da je tekma zelo izenačena. Debata v New Hampshireu pa tudi kaže na naraščajočo konkurenčnost Sandersa.
I am very much in favor of social democracy – to varying degrees, all developed economies have some elements that fit under this definition – and I think we should move even further in that direction. Under my particular version of this system, government would intervene in the economy for three main reasons, to correct the inherent inequities associated with the booms and busts that characterize capitalist economies, to correct market failures that move us away from the competitive markets needed for capitalism to function best (monopoly power, externalities, asymmetric information, political influence over regulations, and so on), and to correct inequities in the opportunity for success as well as inequities in the outcomes an imperfect market system produces.
