(I know there's a whole middle-aged, middle-income, leftist man with a modicum of education loving Adam Curtis thing out there...)

WIll miss the narration.

Timely on applying insane Hayekian "shock treatments" to economies.

Top of my watch list. Thanks.

"And in Britain, quantitative easing and the extreme rise in asset prices and property it brought about are as destructive to the lives of millions of ordinary people as were the oligarchs in Russia in the 1990s. The kind of freedom that this sort of technate offers is always very limited: people are just components in a system, free to do what they want, but only within the narrow logic of the iron cage of pseudoscientific economics. A world where they dance, but only in those chains."

I’ve just posted this on another thread, but it sits here as well. More on shock treatments and what may or may not be going on. Well worth a read- https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/n20/william-davies/madman-economics

Ha! Read that already. Will Davies is well worth following on Twitter.

Looks interesting but hedges await so will read it all later. But does that first paragraph suggest that the EEC was established to support neo Liberal market globalism?!?

I did read that yesterday, it was good but I wasn't totally convinced by the argument. A little too much ascribing outcomes as intentions to make a theme (which is also something Curtis does too much for my liking).

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!
