You're in favour of mass bankrupcy, repossessions and widespread malnutrition? Pensioners dying in the cold.

Cool look comrade.

I haven't said anything about supporting what this shower are proposing. However when whichever team you support proposes a policy which results in an adverse market reaction you won't have a leg to stand on.
This is all just a further iteration in our transformation from citizens to consumers.....cogs in a global economic machine rather than individuals in a functioning society.

Edit...may as well hand government to the technocrats now.

There's no soft landing for millions in what you are proposing.

You're trying to sell an end point without explaining the transition.

It's a complete fantasy. A fantasy that involves killing loads of people.

I'd suggest hiring a better PR team.

That's from someone that basically is in favour of the end point!

It needs to be carefully organised - that's the key.

I must have missed the bit where I proposed something nevermind tried to sell it. The question is whether any meaningful transition can take place without the markets throwing a tantrum. For example let's suggest wealth from business was used to pay better wages in cooperative/syndicalist structures with excess used for the benefit of wider society(participatory, truly representative democracies) rather than being siphoned off to management and shareholders.....how do you think the markets would take it?
Perhaps you can propose a gradual, market friendly transition to your preferred end point. Personally I'm not sure we have the time.
Do you think the markets are currently aiding or abetting a transition to a less environmentally destructive future?

Edit....thebooks posted this link which illustrates the dilemma and the folly of Truss's neo Liberal agenda here
https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/n20/william-davies/madman-economics

"As early as 2011, just one year into the coalition government, the British political economist Colin Hay published an article about the UK economy titled ‘Pathology without Crisis?’, in which he used Gramsci’s term ‘catastrophic equilibrium’ to describe Britain’s economic condition of simultaneous failure and stability, a Beckettian situation in which things can’t go on like this, but must go on nevertheless and do so, year after year. The mood of the 2010s was one of ennui, in which nothing ever got quite bad enough for the status quo to break down altogether. The nations that suffered most from the Eurozone crisis after 2009 — Italy, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain — had similar experiences, of relentless stagnation and declining living standards, as they received their punishments on behalf of ‘the markets’. On some level, a genuine crisis, in the sense of a turning point, was what many yearned for."

Well worth a read

Markets don’t make policies. They react to them.

It seems to me that they extract as much possible wealth from the public physical and financial commons into private hands. And then when the trough runs dry, stamp and kick their feet until it is refilled via QE.
Not quite so virtuous!

But anyway who cares....Footers is back!
