As the market mayhem rages apace, the CNBC cable channel has just carried live pictures of protesters on Wall Street outside the New York Stock Exchange, one of whom carries a banner with the words "Capitalism is dead".
It's difficult for me to pigeon-hole myself. Anyone involved in marketing or demographics would find that I've slipped through the net. I'm a maverick. I remain a philosophical marxist (note the adjective), although I'm the first to say that capitalism won that titanic war when the Berlin Wall came down. I have a very low threshold for bullshit, can be sarcastic & generally assume the worst in people (that way, anything else is a bonus).
