The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America (Oren Cass)
An exploration of how society should be organized to reward, rather than punish, the productive, rather than parasitical, members of society, and of why GDP is a stupid way to measure both wealth and social health. Not that any of Oren Cass's excellent recommendations will be implemented until the present dispensation is utterly destroyed. (This article was first published December 24, 2018.)

"I have often complained that human flourishing cannot consist of increases in GDP that permit us all to buy more cheap Chinese crap every year. Oren Cass has arrived to say exactly why that is, and what we should focus on instead. He also adds important related thoughts, including very specific and reality-based policy recommendations. Thus, in many ways, this book completes my circle of thoughts on political economy, providing the basis for an economic program in opposition to the modern verities of both Left and Right.." . . .
