Reddit reviews Our Word is Our Weapon: Selected Writings (Open Media)

we're talking past each other; full employment yes, but no solution other than guaranteed minimum income

but is the nation truly at <5% unemployment? no, as the first article says

>But across the Rust Belt and so much of America that is still chronically jobless and struggling, you could hear a pin drop.

the rust belt is economically irrelevant; after nations rebuilt their industry and the global economy ticked up in the 60s and beyond, america wasn't the only game in town for steel production, durable goods, etc
