An interesting (long read) article explaining how previously radical ideas, such as governments needing to play a key role in addressing income inequality, go from the extreme to mainstream, as evidenced by this quote from the paragon of small government, pro-market-based capitalism, The Financial Times (cited in the article):

>>
“Radical reforms – reversing the prevailing policy direction of the last four decades – will need to be put on the table. Governments will have to accept a more active role in the economy. They must see public services as investments rather than liabilities, and look for ways to make labour markets less insecure. Redistribution will again be on the agenda; the privileges of the elderly and wealthy in question. Policies until recently considered eccentric, such as basic income and wealth taxes, will have to be in the mix.”
