I just read this and I think it is worth spreading it around. If you are a conservative and you are reading this, explain yourself in numbers and not in percentages as it desensitizes the masses. Then explain why capitalism (and global capitalism), at work for a hundred years (starting from the boom of the industrialization process) is further behind than it was at the half way point (50 years ago). Where is the progress? Where is the increase in the standard of living, or access to medicine? Where has it gotten us? If you like this article, use it as inspiration and pass it along. A better world IS possible; make it happen.
