Robert Kuttner - ‘The Role of Governments in the Global Economy’

"In (the Global Economy), a Democratic President, a Labour Prime Minister or a Social-Democratic Chancellor can snub the unions, but he’d better not offend Wall Street or the City of London or Frankfurt. Even the nominally left party begins behaving like the right party."

This weeks Green Thought is taken from ‘The Role of Governments in the Global Economy’ by Robert Kuttner in ‘Global Capitalism’ by Hutton& Giddens (eds) (2000).

This state of affairs used to be called corruption & vice, now they call it 'the duty to help business succeed' ; it is now both a duty and a virtue!
