Why hasn't this happened in conservative states?
Why does this virtuous circle (generally speaking, your point about wealth distribution stands) only happen in liberal states?
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoBecause both "conservative" and "liberal" states are deeply capitalist, but they're favoring different sorts of industries. "Liberal" states are built off treating skills and innovation as the source of productivity growth; "conservative" states off treating resource extraction as productivity growth. "Liberal" states implement policies designed to foster the productivity of their professional-managerial class, "conservative" states to extract resources with minimal labor costs. They are in different lines of business.
