The Lanchester Review: Understanding Our Economy and How To Change It

Andrew Fisher challenges everyone.

"The causes of the economic crash are presented by the Westminster politicians in glib terms for short-term political gain."

"The US bank crashed in 2008, but here in the UK Northern Rock had collapsed in 2007."

"We have to accept responsibility. And that means looking beyond glib banker-bashing, too."

"The crash was the inevitable consequence of the structural weaknesses in our economy."

"Actually, the economic crisis is and always was a political crisis, a crisis of democracy."

"If we want not only a moral economy, but also a stable one, then we have to redistribute wealth and power."

Read it.
