Moral capitalism? What an insult to our intelligence By William Bowles
27 January 2012 — williambowles.info
PM Cameron’s call for a “moral capitalism” would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic and hypocritical. After all, hasn’t it been capitalism’s alleged occupation of the ‘moral high ground’ what they now choose to call ‘humanitarian intervention’ that has been used as a justification for mass murder and genocide? But plainly the millions killed and the countries decimated don’t fall under Cameron’s definition of what is and isn’t ‘moral’. Clearly, it’s for ‘local consumption’ only.
Public spaces have become increasingly policed by unaccountable officials bearing open-ended powers. Criminal offences that would have been tried in court are now often dealt with on the spot.
