More From Paul Farmer

Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.

What type of new economical system can organize this system? there is another sector in our life, that we rely on every single day, that are absolutely essential: the social commons, the social economy. it is all the activity we engage in to create social capital. it doesn't create capital market. social commons is growing faster than the market place. it is growing faster than the market place. the social commons include any activity that is deeply social and collaborative.

Right now in the insurance markets, we have sort of a disaster unfolding, a downward spiral, adverse selection, premiums in the individual market going through the roof. people can't afford insurance and insurance companies are losing hundreds of millions of dollars. if you repeal part of obamacare to get rid of the individual mandate but keep some of the ideas, that people can still buy insurance after they're sick, the situation gets extraordinarily worse. and so what we're seeing now could be tenfold greater if you only repeal part of obamacare.

It is eminently possible to have a market-based economy that requires no such brutality and demands no such ideological purity. a free market in consumer products can coexist with free public health care, with public schools, with a large segment of the economy -- like a national oil company -- held in state hands. it's equally possible to require corporations to pay decent wages, to respect the right of workers to form unions, and for governments to tax and redistribute wealth so that the sharp inequalities that mark the corporatist state are reduced. markets need not be fundamentalist.
