I've always thought that capilaism's submission to market forces introduces an nefarious element of pure (and dangerous) anarchy into human life. What happens in stock markets is that people run from one commodity to another like a herd of panicked animals. If this is the model from which we apply value to things, then where's the morality in that ? Answer : there isn't any. That's why arms dealers have the most lucrative market of all. I have my doubts about 'political control of economy' (soviet style), but this won't do either. Freedom ? Tyranny of knee-jerk-panic more like. It's my definition of 'going to hell in a handcart' - which is what's happening.
2p's worth
