The development of our society into two separate socio-economic Americas is now a stark reality. At the same time, we are losing the underpinnings of democracy. Our values are eroding and the fiber of our society is at stake. Importantly, we’re increasingly shifting toward an autocratic system. In my Substack column, I examine these urgent issues and explore solutions for lasting, systemic changes which can help cure the ills of our country and prevent future attacks on our democratic way of life.

It's going on in plain view, though few recognize what's happening, because to most observers of the stock market, nothing looks amiss. Despite the extraordinary rise in income and wealth for the top income quartile in America, the median household income today is less than one percent higher than it was in 1989.
