Two Pandemics with Robert Reich

I follow this economist from Berkley and he worked under the Bush and Clinton administration. He argues how the covid crisis threatens people in different classes in different ways. Using what you've learning about liberalism is he thinking sound? How can you related the enlightenment thinkers to his understanding of the crisis? Are there examples of what he is saying that could be generalized into other areas of our society? Take a stand on what you see as a solution to the problem/s he has spoken to.  The video can be found here.

Capital over People?

This article was written by Hamilton Nolan who sees the priority of the government to let capital build despite what the consequences would be on the general population.  Given what you've taken in the development of liberalism, the Enlightenment thinkers, the Industrial Revolution, what should be the response to economic concerns? How do our ideologies conflict in this regard? Do we see any evidence of the impact on the economy and how to handle it here in Canada? Finally, take a position on what you feel is the best course of action for us to take in light of this pandemic. The article can be found here.
