Helsinki National History Museum: How capitalism in Finland caused breadlines, women to sell their bodies, doubled the suicide rate in men, destroyed most businesses, and destroyed a generation
This is a good reminder, but history will repeat itself because greedy 1% never care even for a second to what happen to the normal people and in our everyday more liberal and capitalism world they will always feast happily while people even dies. Tax the rich is always a good motto but still in 30 years I dont see changes, only richs become richest in a poorest slaves society.
The past tense is in reference to the historical event, it doesn't refer to the present state of Finland's economy.
If someone had a post titled: "How Trump caused a rift within liberalism in the US" the past tense would not imply that Trump no longer exists or that he is no longer a politician, it would simply be referring to the political rift as a historical event.
