Many thanks. I have been studying Richard Wolff and he has not mentioned late stage capitalism but I imagine he might agree. I know nothing of Ernest Mandel who coined the term in a graduate thesis. I did love Marcuse who accepted the term. This seems very lucid. I am 75, two doctorates and a low income widow. At one time I helped several, 2k, seriously Ill folks, as an epigeneticist aka natural health and life balance. I wish I could support you. I just got my SS check after the Friday night massacre. We must get rid of them and in my view capitalism. I'm here and also on Medium where I found you. Many thanks.

Thank you, Nancy! I put a lot of hours into researching and writing this piece, so it's very gratifying to hear that you find it lucid and informative. Please share it with others when discussions about "Trickle-Down Economics" and taxing the rich come up. The more people we empower with hard numbers, the more people can join us in making fact-based arguments against this madness.

Ben this is very good, too and they call it late stage. https://youtu.be/-1aFnl-x_3M?si=-cZRDm-jPgtTLsSl

I'm not interested in this. I have my own work. That was then this is now. Men expect female support. I enjoy my freedom.
