A Quick Note To The Brilliant Jonathan Tourzan - Who Posts Progressive And Commonsensical Comments On Facebook

Spot on, Jonathan Tourzan. Speaking as an ignoramus, when it comes to economic issues,  does that not also refer to  what is called the socialisation of private risk? No?

And, ever thought of how  national economies in the global south would probably boom, were  base-of-the-pyramid-demographic families, and individuals, to be given substantial, bailout-taxpayer-sums to  purchase homes, or major ticket items, such as farmlands, with?

Furtheremore, could they not repay same, over say 50 years, in agreed monthly  installments -  which will be whatever those concerned can afford to pay as 'rent', for each succeeding generation, until it is repaid after the fifth decade, I ask? Would definitely make for inclusive societies in many emerging nations, one suspects. No?

Additionally, would that not also evolve into  well-provisioned-income-sources, for some longterm impact-investment  funds, subscribed to by patient-investors? Funny how when the rich and powerful get taxpayer-handouts, it is given respectability, and stripped of moral-hazard-arguments,   by being categorised as 'bailouts'. Wonders. Yet, when such taxpayer funds are directed to societies' marginalised, worldwide, they miraculously end up being labeled detrimental-and-economy-wrecking-socialism. Interesting what is in a name. Thanks for sharing, Jonathan.  Cool.
