RT @yanisvaroufakis
There is a delicious irony in the way our governing centrists, in the UK and in the EU, are lamenting the Trump Shock. They wax lyrical about the globalised, financialised capitalist order which they now mourn. They portray it as a golden age, a natural global system of free trade and benign capital flows. Are they truly oblivious to the facts of recent economic history? Do they not know that the grossly imbalanced, extractive, Ponzi-like financialised global capitalism which has spawned the crises that propelled Trump into the White House was also birthed by a major shock? The Nixon shock?
