This is really fascinating, complicated stuff and I don’t claim to understand all that you’re reviewing here. But you magnify the point that the onus is on us to understand the history that has brought us to this point. So many people today don’t understand what capitalism really is, and condemning based on a one-dimensional perspective. The ideologies that we’re struggling with today are not new. If only we would stop and face our own global past in the rear view mirror, we might learn something. Teaching World History in our schools is as important now as ever.

Thanks for this, Michael.
