Billionaires AND Universal Healthcare? The Sweden Answer
Scott Galloway and historian Heather Cox Richardson argue America faces a false choice between billionaire wealth and social welfare, using Sweden as proof both can coexist.
The gist
-
Sweden shows high taxes and strong social benefits do not stop companies from growing big or creating billionaires.
-
Galloway says the gap between stock market gains and how people actually feel is widened by social media setting unrealistic expectations.
-
You cannot convert committed opponents, so the real target is the roughly 80 million Americans who do not vote.
-
Grassroots organizing around concrete local issues, like a private prison near a school, is what actually moves soft voters.
