Interesting piece by Ian Dunt in Striking 13 (https://open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/p/the-grenfell-report-is-a-tombstone), about the limitations of deregulation and the scope of the state.
"Grenfell tells us something crucial about deregulation and the state, about the terrible danger of unrestrained capitalism without government interference to temper it. It is a tombstone for neoliberalism. And yet the proponents of that view do not seem to have a damn thing to say about it. Not one word to acknowledge it. Not one utterance to defend against it. Just a mute, cynical silence, which betrays an indifference to the terrible reality of what we found this week."
It was a tragedy... I hope we have learned something from it.
