Lars P. Syll — Thatcher and the neoliberal counterrevolution


Dean Baker: "But most economists are not paid for knowing about the economy. They are paid for telling stories that justify giving more money to rich people. Hence we can look forward to many more people telling us that all the money going to the rich was just the natural workings of the economy. When it comes to all the government rules and regulations that shifted income upward, they just don’t know what you’re talking about."

Ironic quote from DB, a guy that is paid by billionaires and union pension funds to support liberal views in economics. The same billionaires that do really well when trade is TINA, Education is The Only Solution To All Ills, and we all feel terrible about the consequences to workers as a result our policies but if they just weren't so damn stupid, they wouldn't be in that job/pickle/whateva.
