Jeffrey Sachs' article titled "America Has Become a Country Owned by the Rich, Ruled by the Rich, and Enjoyed by the Rich" said that a year ago, Joe Biden narrowly defeated Donald Trump in the election, but the prospects for the United States are still uncertain. It is not easy to diagnose exactly what has put the United States in such a difficult position that it has instigated the "Trump Movement."
In America's chaotic political situation, multiple factors are at play. In my opinion, however, the deepest crisis is political—the failure of political institutions in the United States to "promote public welfare," as promised by the U.S. Constitution. For 40 years, American politics has become an insider's game, favoring the super-rich and corporate lobbies at the expense of the vast majority of citizens.
