Why no mention of the great queen of NL thought … No not Hillary… but one Ayn Rand??

Thanks for this comment. “Keynesianism works by stimulating consumer demand to promote economic growth” does not take into account the willingness of Keynes (but not always of his followers) to alter their suggestions with changing circumstances, as he did throughout his career.
I think we need to, as much as possible, make our “new” products out of old, do you know how many junkyards are full of old cars and appliances - and subsidize conversion of some of the auto factories, say, into making the new products - how many auto plants do we need? And from my understanding a good deal of energy goes into powering our servers, etc - we are paying a heavy energy price for computerizing everything …
I guess what i am saying is that i think there is a better candidate, more likely to pursue a “green” model for development - funny thing, she, Stein, is running with the Green Party …
You have views that differ from mine. Tell me, why are Boeing buildings hundreds of Dreamliners when they ‘know’ that most of them will not see out their useful life because the jet fuel obtained from crude oil has run out.
“Neoliberalism” is merely a fancy name for corporate feudalism.
Austria’s great contributions to modern civilsation: the First World War, Hayek, von Mises and Adolf Hitler.
Although there may be no proof, there is hope that it might and without hope there can be no change, irrespective of Mr Hopey-Changey in the White House. .
Because that’s what they are making money on …
What a pile of bigoted, quasi racist crap you write. So ALL British men are like this, are they, based soley, it seems, on your short stay in London and one encounter with what sounds like a member of the public school educated, upper classes? Now that makes you an authority on the place, does it, able to dish out blanket opinions? If you were applying the same way of thinking in relation to say, black people, then I’m sure even you, who seems to have zero capacity for self-analysis, can see how much of an idiotic bigot that makes you look. And for someone who is always ranting on against the ‘one size fits all’ thinking, I think you’ve just won TOP PRIZE for applying it. Well done! What a hypocrite! I think you should come clean and apologise.
You even get the astrology wrong., The UK isn’t ruled by Aries it’s ruled by Capricorn. Christmas Day 1066 is calculated, by astrologers, as the official beginning of the nation. Not that it matters as it’s all a load of crap anyhow, the preserve of those whose brains have been addled by excessive use of psychedelics in their early years.
“The left and centre have produced no new general framework of economic thought for 80 years.”
The type of Modern Monetary Theory taught at UMKC by Michael Hudson and Bill Black, and promoted by Ellen Brown, is a start, unless you regard that as not leftist …
Would the Green New Deal offered by Stein qualify as an alternative to the zombie doctrine?
An excellent synopsis yet in sum I am inclined to group the entire article loosely as a version of interpreting the policy doctrines implemented as too big to fail. There are many untouchable or secretive franchised congressional committees who have an overarching control of what happens in the political and social spheres of media and commerce. The US is still essentially ruled by old money, regional controls, compacts and contracts in a modern version of the plantation mentality with a populous considered by their own volution consumers or human resources in essence a notional value as part of a bigger picture… More importantly we have to understand commity under blacks law with its subsequent adoption of statutory law or revenue generating laws as I would view them, Especially for the rising number of incorporated municipalities and its desire for feeding and extending catchment of resources. The model used is under the corporate counsels control for your jurisdiction check them out if you can. The general policies for municipal control are under the auspice of a semi legal communist styled organization openly peddling itself as ICLEI.This is almost universal throughout the Wesphalian or anglofied legal systems and their localized implementations of policy through the entire western world. Along of course with the rise of a legal system that is essentially a franchised bureaucracy also connected to and an arm of the American BAR association… Which has control of the many state legislative bodies and nary a real citizen among them Rather than Zombie doctrines lets call the doctrine exactly what they are, ‘too big to fail’, bureaucratic boondoggles, expensive hobbies for professional welfare recipients on the taxpayer bases dime.
We would better understand this as the pressure to generate revenue from each iteration of municipal statutes to one of too broke and greedy to fail, certainly not progressive In economic terms despite your own worldview the federal reserve as a matter of policy will view all that it creates as a model and print its worthless money for the support thereof. In their own words, the herds. In general a Westphalian derived doctrine or models which are developed through Pareto or human political economics.
In Pareto formulations we essentially need only control the leading herd members by providing coercive incentivizes towards their personal interests or beliefs. We may even under the Neo liberalist doctrine create statutory individualist laws. If that statute potentially has the ability to increase its revenue generating powers and/or controls by either directly or indirectly allowing its progressive nature to undermine common sense and other laws by municipal rule determinations. We do as we often find if the net happens to surround you in one of their courts have to pay or increase our contract of indebtedness with the municipality.
Essentially we need to control only a maximum of 20% even further we may in many cases need much less to achieve political goals, statutory and/or social strategies by following and encouraging the herd leaders to think a certain way. The top down strategy is the same in all but name. The crumbs, not the loaf or the slice of bread if any are supposed to have the momentum of the masses drooling for curry and favor from above.
The Federal reserve has determined the Lockean mindset of the US citizen as a paramount requirement for a notional value no matter their individual creed or conviction. Even religious organizations subscribe to the subservient doctrine.
There are factors from the many CFR globalist doctrines that are implemented through the federal reserves policy decisions. They are too big to fail or have a determinant long term hidden strategy. Loosely coined or understood to be Agenda 21 doctrines or similar implementations that are not only view able but considered a necessary evil as part of it. Hence the resulting and acceptable behavior of consumers as a general malaise. This is nothing really new as we only repeat history in following the decline of Empires through the same models means and methods that caused them to fail. Of which even ancient Greece or Rome to its demise serve as shining examples. Humans have not changed much over the millennia, neither has their behavior, their thoughts nor their beliefs only the technologies that serve their time and purpose. It is the ultimate of Hubris to believe the power of the state represents your actual status in this world. Today we deal with the same indifference, entitlements much as the Greek or Roman empire did with their citizenry or any fledgling culture which has aspired to do the same in its neo liberal implementations.
Do not be so hard in your condemnation, if the source of your argument believes it to be true then it is true. A person from the land of a US judges jurisdiction is not restricted to basic opinions, but also the ability to suffer from affluenza and in astrological terms have their case law argument have a loose relationship to a solar penumbra The new political doctrine requires few citations for facts just endorsement by a newer mob mentality and maybe a few esoteric theories and feminist studies. Based on the offending source, it should actually be a case of why my attitude and sexuality could not get me laid in London even if I walked round naked and strapped a mattress to my back. I believe the argument is more of a class issue than a racist one. I certainly object strongly to the feminist anti male propaganda within the argument but consider the source of the argument as indoctrinated inflammation.
The only good fact that resulted was in a few related inquiries to the remark regarding indigenous populations which was something positive contributing to a conundrum. That was to learn a simple truth in that the consumption of your standard western urban dweller is in the kilowatt scale. A US urban dweller consuming up to 11kw per day depending on the class they claim to be a member of. The more well healed of course having a bigger bite of the cherry. A natural human or third world dweller requires at the most 240 w. Why Watts and not joules, why not and what is the difference other than an interpretation.
Fiefdoms and feudalism were precursors to modern soft capitalism and industrialization. What the hell is patriarchy other than changing a familial model to a post industrial model for human resource management. See fiscal population control documents from the federal reserve, which is the Bible for feminisms patriarch and herd controls. The social malaise for your beliefs are self evident and currently making big money for your idealism. Well done.
