Mr Symbol,
I'm not here to talk about politic, but in France, one of their first principle was to improve people's life. You know, vacations, social insurance, Minimal salary for living... Development was supposed to improve people's life. it used to work, but new capitalism killed this dream.
You can say it's "dirigisme", we call it "redistribution". Now most the money goes to speculators, rich people, not to people who work.
The cult of money has swept aside social and cutural progress.
Progress was supposed to improve people's life, at the beginning, no ?
It's just a point of view.
