I will ask my wife in the morning. It was part of the reading material she used in one of the classes she taught around 20 years ago. It made an impression on me though.

The surround is from the book, "Riches for the Poor: The Clemente Course in the Humanities" by Earl Shorris. It starts on page 48 in the copy I have.

And I think this will get you to Gans' paper

Capitalism fails when there are no controls to limit and prevent overaccumulation. We are very close to that point. When money and power flow one way, democracy fails.

There's a lot of general truth in that, imo.

I would say we have already passed that point.

The situation in the US is likely different from the UK or where you are. In the US, blacks have been prevented from the rights of citizenship and loaded with the responsibilities. The bootstrap argument fails on its own premises.
A guy named Herbert Gans wrote a paper once titled, the positive functions of the undeserving poor. If you have access, it's highly recommended by me. As is the concept of the surround, a situation with no escape. I'll have to look up the reference

Will go look for that. Thanks.
