...themselves into a political one with the benign assistance of King George. Laborite James Ramsay MacDonald has steadily become more conservative, and Conservative Stanley Baldwin & Party have been fated to maintain or introduce the most radical legislation dished up in any Great Power outside the Soviet Union until President Roosevelt dished his New Deal. In England, while maintaining the Crown with all it implies, the income tax has been raised to confiscatory altitudes; the proletariat have come to accept and demand the Dole as a matter of right; and such amenities as the provision of the phenomenally cheap, brand...

They would own their own risk, essentially, with a direct stake in things like their retirement and health...
