I think that the social contract is undergoing a lot of stress right now because society is moving from an industrial economy to an information economy. At the same time it may be moving into a post-oil economy as well. We're also at the tail end of a 30 year long period of conservative political dominance. We may be looking at an FDR - New Deal sort of political realignment coming soon. I've been reading posts by a very convincing Kossack on this subject lately.
