Here’s a nice illusion of the main process of policy in the US today called “revolving door” in this case showing how food and agricultural policy is controlled by the giant monopoly Monsanto.

This has been operating for decades but is today the norm today with very few exceptions. A similar list can be drawn for education, environmental, health, communications, EVERYTHING.

Politics:

To my libertarian friends: Are you enjoying this “self-regulatory” system? After all isn’t this what Ayn rand advocated: government by and for the business elites?

To my liberal friends: Yes we must have effective regulation for a market-system to work. But tell me exactly HOW we would get that when the government (Dems or Reps) are completely in the pocket of multinational?

THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND DECENTRALIZING POWER AND RETURNING IT TO THE PEOPLE.

The radicals are (as usual) correct!

How the Case for Austerity Has Crumbled by Paul Krugman

Nice summary from Paul Krugman. FYI, Krugman is a centrist-moderate-liberal and this stuff is not even mildly controversial. Austerity IS A SCAM no matter how you look at it. Serious (and non-corrupt) libertarians and Austrian economists would agree… If not do please tell me why :)
