Every other kind is a tool the ruling class uses to stay in power. The so-called culture wars are a fabrication, an elaborate deception. It is a war waged by the capitalists against the people.
Lowering interest rates = more employment and higher wages! But then increased demand wipes out those gains. The poorest suffer the most as everything becomes more expensive and their wage growth rarely if ever keeps up with the increase in costs.
Then raising interest rates = deliberate unemployment, deliberate reduction in quality of life, and, again, the poorest suffer the most.
Whatever we do, the poorest suffer.
Whatever anyone says, the output of capitalism is cruelty for the majority. Therefore, capitalism is designed for cruelty. POSIWID.
Can we do better? Not if capital keeps making the decisions!
