Fantastic! Best thing I've seen in 2010.
Anyone who predicts almost anything for enough time will often be correct.
Amusing stuff. What a pity that so much talent results in so little substance. Let’s have a debate. Wow. The RSA should be proud of such decisive thinking. Capitalism is bad – you bet. Unfortunately, the Marxist thinking seems to rapidly morph into the cruellest form of repression. Maybe the sorts of people who are attracted to Marxism are just weird. Give me the vagaries of Capitalism any day rather than the ranters of the left.
Very nicely presented discussion piece but zero useful content.
