I don't know any of the solutions, and it's a damn good thing to admit.

That's fine. I'm not opposed to classical liberalism (Hayek, Friedman) on ideological grounds, but rather because it's making people in North America poorer, in comparison to the post war period of say the 1950's to the mid 1980's, where wages were high and the cost of living was low.
If someone could sit me down and convince me that free trade, the decline of unions, (and yes!) the acceleration of the free movement of labour were beneficial to the wages of the working class I would be for it.
