Many writers on socioeconomic policy have warned that the old
industrialized democracies are heading into a Weimar-like period, one in
which populist movements are likely to overturn constitutional
governments. Edward Luttwak, for example, has suggested that fascism may
be the American future. The point of his book The Endangered American
Dream is that members of labor unions, and unorganized unskilled
workers, will sooner or later realize that their government is not even
trying to prevent wages from sinking or to prevent jobs from being
exported. Around the same time, they will realize that suburban
white-collar workers—themselves desperately afraid of being
downsized—are not going to let themselves be taxed to provide social
benefits for anyone else.

At that point, something will crack.
