It should be constant front-page news that the US has gone through a remarkable period of modern economic history: a quarter-century in which real wages for the majority have almost stagnated (in part declined) and incomes are kept up only by increasing the work load well beyond the rest of the industrial world, also with few benefits and huge pressure to consume and borrow.
It's an efficient disciplinary technique, if nothing else.
--Noam Chomsky, MIT, from a ZNET forum reply.
