Every morning I wake up on

The wrong side of capitalism

Great moments in Empire

I was re-reading it today, to prepare a talk on the G8 for tomorrow. Great bits I missed the first time:

  • The American defeat in Vietnam was a victory for capitalism, which otherwise would have been completely destroyed in the 70s (p. 246).
  • Consumerism is a good thing, and responsible for the destruction of capitalism (p. 262).

Splendid.
