Re: So, how much more 'reform' do we need? (none / 1)

What we need is a policy that does not criticize profit making by corporations, but reflects the fact that it is in the corporations' very own long term interest that these profits be reinvested in the economy to boost demand. That investment can take the form of actual investment by corporations, wage increases (investment in the labor force), or transfer to others (taxes) for them to invest on bahalf of the collectivity.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Reform here. Investment there. (none / 0)

The corporations usually want the reform in the wealthier countries, but all their investment goes into coontries with low labor costs, and usually potentially huge markets.
