Getting to Purple: Uniting an Ever More Polarized Red and Blue America

by Stephen R. Meyer

America has become increasingly polarized politically, and never in recent history has popular support for both parties fallen so low. Why is this? It is because neither of the parties knows how to make America great. Republicans are generally ignorant of how the abuses of capitalism damage a society, and Democrats are generally ignorant of the fact that only a capitalist economic system can produce the necessary wealth for a society to prosper. What the United States needs in order to prosper is inclusive capitalism, which is achieved when there is widespread ownership of property.

Affordable homeownership is the key to a vibrant and healthy society. America made great strides in increasing homeownership rates until the 1960s. Since then, misguided policies on a variety of fronts have led to rising home costs that have priced many people out of the market—to the detriment of society. Home prices affect everything from personal wealth creation to crime to election outcomes. Getting to Purple illuminates how housing prices influence American politics and explains what policies must be implemented for America to flourish.
