Social Democracy in America Part 19 A People's Society or a Market Society
The New Deal was an era of Social Democracy. It ended the market-based society that created third world living standards of vast poverty for most and vast wealth for a few.
The New Deal policies created a vast middle-class, suburbia, weekends, vacations, 40-hour work weeks, savings and the ability to invest in a home and pass on that investment to our children. Well, unfortunately only for white Americans.
Prior to this Socially Democratic era, slave wages, and 6-7 day work weeks were the norm. As these policies have been stripped, the countries that have returned to market-based societies all show the same signs of a return to pre-New Deal living standards. The ones who have held on to Social Democracy are still experiencing high living standards and a high middle-class.
This documentary series is designed to be an outreach to the politically uninitiated.
It is meant to pierce the academic echo chamber and reach the majority of society that only seems to get information that is either truthful but wonky and arcane or easily digestible but propaganda and thoroughly dishonest. Afterall, Democracy is based on the majority. The small esoteric group of academics and assorted leftists is not a majority and needs to cultivate outreach beyond their circles.
It is therefore generalized to avoid going deep into the minutiae, with the attempt at framing the issues honestly within the confines of explaining it to people of all education levels or lack thereof.
