Typical tactics by economists since Malthus -- frame the problem as a choice between two repulsive alternatives. The key to Henry George's appeal was that he framed things as a clear choice between a repulsive and an attractive choice. The UK and USA are both paying the price for more than a century of systematic mis-education of policymakers and the public in matters economic. Even labor is viewing this through a Neo-Classical frame. They will not succeed until and unless they break that frame -- or at least make clear to the public that there is a choice of frames: one that serves great fortunes, finance and their retainers, and another that serves the remaining 98% of the population.
