Adam Smith was a social democrat…
One slither in particular of Douglas’ earlier post stuck out to me:
who Parker calls “shareholders”.
This is the neo-liberal tendency at its most obvious. This ideology’s adherents are seemingly incapable of considering anything to be other than a market. This sort of reductionism is surely not what even Adam Smith would have wanted. The consequence of this nonsense perspective being applied to anything is invariably carnage so I imagine London will suffer immensely, but that’s what I anticipated from the outset so this is hardly news to my ears.
It still smarts that a 1980s throw-back has such a vital role, especially in a City Hall once dominated by the far superior 1960s throwbacks.
Oh yes, and happy towel day.
