However, Warren appears to be trending in ways Bernie isn't doing yet, so I'll wait to see which one appears to have the best chance of burying Joe and the other corporate whores next summer.

A society free of land rents?
Mixed economies and monopoly | Michael Hudson
"The kind of 'mixed economy' envisioned by Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and other classical 19th century free market economists aimed at saving the economy from land rent paid to Europe’s hereditary landlord class.
"Either the government would tax away the land’s rent, or would nationalize it by taking land out of the hands of landlords.
"The idea was to free markets from economic rent ('unearned income') in general, including monopoly rents, and also to subsidize basic needs to create a price-competitive national economy."
Don't worry, Scrooge.
I'll give you a good deal on a used tent and a free patch of sidewalk to camp on
Americans tend to see problems in individual or psychological terms instead of social and structural ones; we see people rather than systems (like capitalism), and we've been taught to believe all behavior reflects free personal choice.Everybody is still responsible for themselves
When the next white American male picks up his gun and shoots up the nearest school he will be judged mentally ill, or individually evil, or someone who failed to receive the moral teachings a good society imparts.
It will never occur to most good Americans that it is their sociopathic society that creates the psychological disorders that drive school shooters, here and abroad.
