I'm getting the impression that we're agreeing on some points and I don't disagree with the root element of neo-liberalism but what it requires is opportunity and it is this point where I feel we have different ideas.
You asked me if I still believed in Santa Claus and then you accuse me of floundering. I was merely playing along.
We've been down this road before on other topics, I think we are different cheeks on the same arse. Just as a closer, have you read the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, it's been out quite awhile but I've only just got round to reading it, I'm only a few paragraphs in but it's very interesting, scary and informative, would recommend it as an alternative read.
No I haven't read it but having just had a quick scan of the review I agree it does look very interesting so I will have a look.
