Yves Smith — Political Precariat

Summary:
The point of the material cited in the post is the ripeness of the precariat politically for the left.  My sense is that the precariat is also ripe for the right and that is the probable direction given the rise of nationalist populism globally in reaction to the consequences of neoliberal globalization for most people other than the top quintile, with the bulk of the gains going to the top 0.01%.  So far the so-called left seems splintered, fractured and in disarray in comparison with the simple messaging of the so-called alt-right.
