I read this article by #Matthew_Desmond of #princetonuniversity and want to recommend it.
Basic thesis: slavery still informs #American capitalism and thus #world capitalism via #globalisation. Gives it a '#zero_sum' calculation that you must be either master or slave. Makes corporations #elitist, #paranoid, power-obsessed, #monopolistic, inhumane, oppressive, psychotic, irrational, inefficient, #unsustainable.
Convinced me!
