Re: Anything we can actually do, we can afford
How can one possibly address the the very rational belief; "that the ‘City’ (financial markets) and the press will somehow engineer electoral oblivion for any aspiring politician who might dare to oppose the ‘sound finance’ narrative that both the Tories and the Labour Party are locked into." If one doesn't address the Libor Scandal and everything else that went with the "quantitative easing" response to the credit crisis? One doesn't require "all ze little von Brauns" to understand that Britain's reliance on the financial services sector made us uniquely vulnerable and that Britain was massively over-exposed to the "Credit Crunch". Such, one would hope, was blindingly obvious. It is the neoliberals who cling to a paradigm of exploitation (no matter what they call themselves), but this cannot be addressed without examining theories and practices other than those we have come to immediately associate with "economics" post the Industrial Revolution. Theories in both physics and medicine especially.
