‘A third Reconstruction’

Michael Lind is right that this is what it will take to get the South to stop its anti-labor, anti-infrastructure, anti-government investments, job-poaching approach to governance.

His suggestions toward that end include:
• Restoring federal revenue sharing;
• Getting a real living wage;
• Replacing the power of state and local economic development corporations (started in the South/Texas) to poach Northern jobs) with a real federal-state partnership.

Read the full story; it’s good.
