Benjamin Cain, over time, improvements have been made to capitalism. Today's is not that of Dickens.

Capitalism, for the most part, works, and it would be foolish to abandon it wholesale.

We are in for a shift again. To include more of what we consider socialism. Our technological age requires more investment in people. We currently waste talent because we don't invest broadly enough in it.

America is finding this out through our productivity decline compared to our peer countries (and others). To turn this around, we need far more investment in our youth.

America continues to be distracted and misplace emphasis. We (and poor old Joe) are fixated on jobs. Although they are one measure of the economy, they don't drive it but sap it. We will have improved capitalism if we can muster the imagination to bunk this misconception.

Many thanks. Always skillful and thoughtful.
