Red flag warning right there whenever someone starts talking about "social systems"...
...we inhabit and the one we now need...
Skating dangerously close to liberal idealism, talking about what we need...
...failures of the old system become more inescapable and more damaging...
Uh oh, failures of the old system are mostly just perceived failures by liberals because life doesn't meet their idealistic expectations.
...stuck in a bygone age...
Ah, the good old cliches, so comfortable.
...a career civil service administered a growing state...
And no-one saw a problem with this?
...an industrial economy characterized by strong unions in stable...
Again, no-one sees a problem with this? Serving yet another master?
...government-brokered arrangements with large corporations...
Yet another warning sign of a government becoming too powerful, too entrenched in our lives.
