This article advances the idea that government intervention in the economy is not only beneficial but essential. I reproduce it here only to counter the neoliberal chimera of the desirability of free markets. I do not support government's running economies, nor do I believe capitalism can be fixed, saved, or redeemed. It has to go.
Warning: this article contains the worst chart of all time.
