An interesting conundrum .. Archived Message Posted by Tomski on April 7, 2023, 1:04 pm, in reply to "Farmers’ Revolt" Altogether thought provoking about climate change and neoliberalism. Momentarily I find these snippets amusing: The French novelist Michel Houellebecq once wrote that the Netherlands is not a country but a limited liability corporation. And this: It may therefore be necessary to revise the German poet Heinrich Heine’s observation that ‘In Holland, everything happens fifty years late’. Here, it seems, the revolt against technocracy has come early. The Dutch conjuncture likely foreshadows the fate of other rich countries in the Global North – as centrist governments, striving to assert their green credentials, begin to make heavy-handed policy reforms with major redistributive consequences.
