Looking like we're going to have to hit rock bottom before the politicians realize the Neo-Classical school is plain & simply Full Of It.

No. conservatism doens't fail, conservatism is fialed. If the solutions conservatism serves up don't work, it's because they weren't done hard enough or for long enough. And absolutely not because they're complete bollox from top to bottom.

keep to the Fen Causeway

Re: Sunday Open Thread (none / 0)

You have a problem with neo-feudalism why, exactly?

Conservatism succeeds for conservatives. It may fail everyone else, but as far as conservatives are concerned there's no lack of everyone else to go around - and they have no guns, no money, and no lawyers.

Therefore, insignificant and disposable.

The economists pushing NCE don't care if it works any more than do those for whom they work -- and most of the politicians work for the same people.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
