I have been writing about the rise of finance "capitalism" at the expense of the productive industrial kind since the 1980s.  I do NOT think this process is harmless.  In fact, I believe it will lead directly to the destruction of the planet and will prevent the rest of us from doing anything about it.

I certainly HOPE Jerome is correct that this is an "Anglo" disease that can be confined to the original sufferers.  But I am afraid this disease can infect almost anyone.  I see that even in sensible places like Sweden, you can find dangerous lunatics like Wolfie--anyone ever hear of Mr. Bildt??

Sigh
