Five Zombie Ideas.
"Trickle-down economics was conclusively refuted by the experience of the postwar economic golden age. During this "Great Compression," massive reductions in inequality brought about by strong unions and progressive taxes coexisted with full employment and sustained economic growth".
Desiderata (Excerpts). Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. No less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. Keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. --- Max Ehrmann, 1927
