 PostscriptA. Coskun Samli A chapter in From a Market Economy to a Finance Economy, 2013, pp 153-155 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Here we are in a most progressive society with a most regressive government. We have too many people and too few jobs and the jobs are paying less and less. The issue of having too many people was not brought up in this book. But, only the third-world countries and the United States don’t have a general population policy. Besides having too many people, lawlessness and greed are running rampant in our society. This society with its greedy and not too well-educated financial bosses has almost no place to go. Certainly, as has been described in the book, there are wolves and sheep but where is the shepherd? Wolves clearly are eating the sheep and nothing is being done about it. Constant talk about “freedom” is everywhere but whose freedom are we talking about? Certainly when big banks gamble away their customer’s money they are free but those who are losing their money are not. Not only does everyone in our society not have equal opportunity but the tyranny of the 1 percenters is obvious and is getting worse. They have the freedom, but the 99 percenters, or the rest of the society, do not.
