The Market Mirage: Who Really Writes the Rules?
Remember when a single income could support a family? In the 1950s, America built history's largest middle class, with workers' earnings doubling alongside economic growth. Today, the economy has doubled again, but typical earnings have stagnated while CEO pay skyrocketed from 20 to over 300 times worker compensation. What happened? The answer lies in understanding that markets aren't natural phenomena but human constructions shaped by rules that determine winners and losers. These rules aren't neutral or unchanging-they reflect who holds power at any given moment. The endless debate between "free markets" and "government intervention" fundamentally misunderstands how capitalism works. Markets cannot exist without government establishing and enforcing property rights, contracts, monopoly limits, bankruptcy procedures, and enforcement mechanisms. Those arguing for "less government" actually want different government rules-often ones favoring themselves or their patrons. The "deregulation" of finance wasn't removing government from markets; it was reregulation with different rules benefiting Wall Street through mechanisms like the repeal of Glass-Steagall. The real question isn't whether government should be involved in markets-it always is-but whose interests the rules serve and how they distribute power and wealth.
