I honestly don't think any little fixes will work, post-pandemic. But that's all they'll be able to accomplish.
Too many people are devoted to the capitalist system as they've come to experience is (not the same
knowing or understanding), religiously convinced that prosperity is a product of
growth; that there is no viable alternative to the boom-and-bust cycles of the stock exchange.
They're open to receiving more help, little perks - but not systemic change.
Even Elizabeth May, who was then our Green Party leader, had the best economic plan and was the most plain-spoken politician in the Canadian election, when asked "What do we need to give up?" answered "Nothing." Completely missed the opportunity to say "Waste."
We have to give up the
wastefulness of capitalism, if we want any chance at survival. It's already a long-shot anyway. I believe we can't make the necessary changes until the current system breaks down under its own unsreason.

On the lighter side, I very much enjoyed JK Galbraith's novel
A Tenured Professor, whose economics books,, incidentally, are still relevant.
