The real economy delivers on the promise of capitalism.
The parasite economy relentlessly undermines it.
If, as many on the right are wont to do, we divide our nation into one of “makers” and “takers,” it’s not the working poor who deserve our derision, but the low-wage businesses that exploit them.

"Unlike chattel slavery..., the commodification of free labor long had posed a problem in Anglo-American traditions of thought. At least a century before Thomas Jefferson famously derided manufactures in his 1787 Notes on the State of Virginia, wage labor had been associated with the hierarchies of the household and carried the stigma of dependence." ("Wages, Sin, and Slavery: Some Thoughts on Free Will and Commodity Relations", Amy Dru Stanley, Journal of the Early Republic, Vol. 24, No. 2 (Summer, 2004), pp. 279-288)
n the era of the American Founders, "Hirelings- no matter how voluntarily they put up their labor for sale or what the price they were paid- were considered not fully free. To be sure, the cash nexus, contract, and the play of the free market in labor eroded the personal relations of dominion and submission characteristic of the customary bonds of paternalism between the gentry and laboring people." ("Wages, Sin, and Slavery: Some Thoughts on Free Will and Commodity Relations", Amy Dru Stanley, Journal of the Early Republic, Vol. 24, No. 2 (Summer, 2004), pp. 279-288)
Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, plain folk, patricians, political theorists, and members of Parliament joined in expressing "hostility to the status of wage-labourer," according to Christopher Hill's classic study of the subject. For the hireling had lost his birthright, "that property in a man's own labour and person," which was the badge of a free man." ("Wages, Sin, and Slavery: Some Thoughts on Free Will and Commodity Relations", Amy Dru Stanley, Journal of the Early Republic, Vol. 24, No. 2 (Summer, 2004), pp. 279-288)

"Capitalism derives its moral legitimacy from being governed by democracy." But it is now expected that the operations of government, public morality, and access to civic participation are to be determined by privatization and market forces. In other words, democracy and our national character are owned by a small cabal of people who have insulated themselves from the same market forces everyone else is expected to bear. All economic, health, and legal risk are pushed off onto the very people whose wages are artificially suppressed. At the same time, the largest capital accounts are enjoyed by the least productive people.
The job of Congress is to
1) incrementally redefine corporate fraud as "legal"
2) insulate artificially created profit from natural market forces
3) restrict the movement of capital from flowing back into wage and payroll accounts.
4) provide income for government-dependent corporations via foreign policy
5) insulate corporate constituents from liability and the consequences of mismanagement
6) shift legal, physical, and financial risk onto labor
Real free market capitalism is called "redistribution" by talk radio.

Fixing Corporate Culture, Obama's New Behavioral Science Policy and Expert Interviews: Ethical Systems October Newsletter
Behavioral sciences are the key to unlocking better decision making, from study halls to the halls of power. The White House echoed our view via an Executive Order outlining that behavioral insights be used to better serve the American people. What began as a nudge, is now a full-on push.
In a speech at NYU Law last week, hosted by the school's Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement, Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates presented a memo covering a new Department of Justice initiative designed to fight corporate fraud and other misconduct by going after individuals who perpetrated the wrongdoing.
