This is classic New York Times (which only in America could be regarded as a "left-wing" newspaper):

What if the legitimacy of free market capitalism in America is facing fundamental challenges that the candidates and their parties are not addressing?

Here are some of the issues that are making some politicians and political thinkers uneasy:

Are large segments of the American workforce — millions of people — at a structural disadvantage in the face of global competition, technological advance and ever more sophisticated forms of automation? Is this situation permanent?

Will the share of profits from improving corporate productivity flowing to capital and to high-earning C.E.O.s continue to grow, while the income of wage earners stagnates and their share of profits declines?

Is it possible that in the United States and Europe, democratic free market capitalism is no longer capable of providing broadly shared benefits to a solid majority of workers?

These are matters of concern to many highly respected experts — people not known for leftist jeremiads. Among them are Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at Columbia University; Nobel Prize winner Michael Spence; Francis Fukuyama, senior fellow at Stanford’s Center on Democracy; former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers; and three of the nation’s foremost labor economists, Richard Freeman and Lawrence Katz, both of Harvard, and David Autor of M.I.T.

Notice that these "highly respectede experts" include the architect of the "free market" shock therapy in the former Soviet Union that succeeded in actually reducing life spans in the space of just a few years; the architect of the banking dergulation in the U.S. that helped produce the global economic collapse of 2008; and a person whose best-known idea–about "the end of history"–was so manifestly silly even when published, that one hsa to wonder who, besides some moron journalists, actually respects this individual.   "No ideas and the ability to express them, that's a journalist" (Kraus).  We might add, "No judgment and the ability to express it, that's also a journalist.
