this is a great piece, full of really useful insight. the one bit i’m going to disagree with you on is this: “The rise of identitarianism led to increased polarization and in-fighting. The fact of special interest groups holding more sway than ordinary citizens led many to view the political establishment as opaque, unresponsive, self-serving and unconcerned with their pain.”

the fact is that there are some things which affect some groups more than others. there are entrenched inequalities that won’t be resolved through economic policies. i’d suggest reading this whole report, which expresses my discomfort with the quote: http://rooseveltinstitute.org/justice-doesnt-trickle-down/
