Ah, I hadn't been thinking of the term "Anglo Disease" next to ones like "Dutch Disease" in that way.  It's a good description.

I, for one, recognize some references to your familiar themes:

. What we've been witnessing over the past 30 years or so is not as much wealth creation than wealth capture.

. Focus of the establishment (financiers, governments, media) has been to limit wage inflation (bad) while favoring assets inflation (good).

These are points where those not familiar with your earlier works may stumble a bit: you might want to add some intro/recap around these areas.
