Revive (and destigmatise) social housing, so that we can live well yet cheaply. Make all higher education free at the point of use, in order that the cognitive gap between the “serving” and the “serviced” classes become even more untenable. Strongly regulate capitalism (shorter working weeks, citizen’s incomes, powerful public infrastructures and networks) so that men, women and children can experiment with new mixes of the productive and the emotional in our lives. In short: support our autonomy, don’t prescribe our happiness.
