Would We Better Off If Our Society Was More Like that of Germany or Other European Social Democracies?

I turn your attention to an interesting article by Thomas Geoghegan, a Chicago-based labor lawyer and the author of six books, including Whose Side Are You On?, The Secret Lives of Citizens, The Law in Shambles and, most recently, Were You Born on the Wrong Continent? It was sent to me by ACP columnist Jane Shey. While I don't agree with it entirely, it is quite provocative and asks a lot of good questions. Perhaps instead of asking if we were better off four years ago or some such thing, we should ask if we might be better off if we lived in Germany or Sweden. Check it out at:
