A comment on The End of Retirement (2014). Parent comment
People are generally happy to tax themselves for the benefit of the in-group, and continue to oppose helping the out-group.
Optimistic me continues to believe that society's notions of in-group continues to expand. By fits and starts, including the cycles of backlash.
FWIW, I highly recommend Robert Wright's book Nonzero. Helped transmute me into an optimist, despite everything.
