Personally I don't see things in terms of "left" and "right" very much … yeah of course there are large cohorts of people that identify as "left" or "right" in democracies, but that's a quirk of majoritarian representative systems.
You have to persuade half the people you're right to get anything done in those systems, but that doesn't define the underlying economic situation.
The vast majority of people, us, do waged work of some kind in a system where a lot of the infrastructure and funds are controlled by or on behalf of a fairly small group of people who "invest" in different things and run the show.
It's the fact that there isn't much difference between people of the left and right in the centre that enables the Third Way types to get a few more votes, but the conciliatory posture with big business and finance isn't going to serve developed economies well at this point.
