Meritocracy, Civil Service Jobs and Racial Dialectics

Joe Atwell posits that the push for meritocracy and the reduction of civil service jobs under the Trump administration will disproportionately affect African Americans. He argues that these policy shifts are designed to create a "race war" dialectic by exposing educational disparities in inner-city schools, such as those in Chicago.

Milton Friedman, Profit Maximization and Corporate Lobbying

John Perkins traces the shift in corporate ethics to the 1970s and Milton Friedman’s Nobel Prize-winning theory that the sole responsibility of business is to maximize profits. This philosophy replaced the older model of community and employee responsibility, leading to a system where corporate lobbyists write the laws. The result is described as a proxy government where elected officials represent corporate interests rather than the public.
