John R. Commons
posted in What Democracy Looks Like |
Met with friends last night at a home that was originally built and occupied by John R. Commons. While the house has been remodeled, his study hasn’t been re-done and it was a bit of an inspiration to stand in that room where capitalism was re-worked for the people of Wisconsin at the behest of Robert M. Lafollette, then tidied up ten years later for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It’s time for another whack at it I’m afraid.
