@brinkerbd ;) don't know if that will help me get alerts or what.

Definitely, the situation is changing in regards to political will, but as of yet, there are only a few minor attempts to understand the deeper underlying systemic forces and challenges. Globalization is more a symptom, than cause, of the current malaise, but many of the reactionary forces gaining influence in both the United States, and elsewhere, seem to be more reactionary.

For example, as much as we can (rightly) complain about globalization, automation has actually cost more jobs (by most estimates), and none of the reactionary groups currently gaining power seem to have an actual plan for dealing with the changes caused by automation.

All of the current ideologies, paradigms, and intellectual schools of thought are largely antiquated, stemming from a different era facing different conditions. Whether that's Marxism on one end of the spectrum, or market-libertarianism on the other. While these ideologies might provide insight, as they are antiquated, they can't offer the full answer.
