核心要点
When the Invisible Agreement Shatters
Picture your daily routine: grabbing coffee, checking your phone, heading to work. These mundane acts rest on an invisible foundation-a social contract binding citizens, businesses, and governments in mutual obligation. For decades after World War II, this contract hummed along beautifully. Workers earned living wages, corporations paid taxes, governments built infrastructure. Then something fractured. Roads crumble while tech giants hoard billions offshore. Public schools struggle while corporate profits hit record highs. The rage defining our current decade isn't random chaos-it's the sound of a broken contract demanding repair. The social contract has always evolved during massive upheavals. The Industrial Revolution triggered one such rewriting. Early factory life was hellish: children worked sixteen-hour shifts, Manchester workers lived just seventeen years on average, and Dickens documented misery in novels that shocked Victorian readers. This "Engels' Pause" saw technology advance rapidly while ordinary people suffered tremendously. Eventually, societies responded with innovations we now take for granted-minimum wages, public education, antitrust laws, worker pensions. These weren't gifts from benevolent elites but hard-won reforms that spread industrialization's benefits beyond factory owners. We're living through another Engels' Pause, but for the digital age. The equilibrium established during industrialization has collapsed as technology, globalization, and climate crisis fundamentally alter power relationships. Tech giants employ more people than many nations' entire populations. The gig economy creates workers outside traditional protections. Automation threatens millions of jobs. Meanwhile, our social contracts haven't been updated to address these seismic shifts, creating the perfect conditions for the rage consuming our politics.
