Me and Steven talked HUGELY about this about 10 years ago and fairly steadily since, and I continue to do so with my current friends. With respect to both the UK and US

Thank you for the summation of this particular issue.
I have thought about it myself and have heard some opinions, but nothing this concise. I have tried to show the other side of the coin to people who expressed deep resentment about the deterioration of their quality of life/financial status and who often pick the wrong culprit, but I never can find the best analogies or the right words for a historic perspective.

I assume that's directed at the original article, and not my comment :-).

It is a fabulous article, way better written than I ever could. :-)  I find it some justification for me having been banging on on this topic for years. I'm glad to see the experts spreading the thinking more widely!

The original article is fantastic, yes, but that was directed at your comment.

I have since found other articles and comments that barely scratch the surface; as if this were a new issue the writers have just begun to think about. I also found this: http://forsetti.tumblr.com/post/153181757500/on-rural-america-understanding-isnt-the-problem
