As you correctly say, the level of government is very much determined by the general philosophy prevailing at the time and ruling cliques driving government ideology and policies. When times are prosperous, the level of government can be…"

As usual you have missed the point. The era of "robber barons" is considered a blight on the free market system and had to be addressed. The other rebellion against exploitation under free market capitalism was Marx and Engles.…"

Remuneration Debate
Third Crisis in Economics : remuneration sanityBen Rees B. Econ.; M. Litt. (econ.)The current obscene squabble over excessive executive pay is symptomatic of bankruptcy inherent in market economics. This is an income distributional issue with major theoretical and practical implications. Huge salaries concentrated in the hands of captains of industry exercising monopoly power constitute severe distortion of resource allocation and distribution. In moral terms, excess executive pay demonstrates…See More

Ben Rees added a discussion to the group THE AGMATES THINK TANKThe Stimulus Debate : some issues
The Stimulus: A Debate over What?Ben ReesCompared to economic debate post 1970's and 1980's economic turbulence, contemporary economic commentary is an embarrassment. We have politicians, media, industry and some contemporary academics, confused and lost because their political, social, and economic agendas limit thinking. Ordinary citizen must struggle to make sense of a serious debate that should be centred around economic philosophy.Traditionally there are three major arms of macroeconomic…See More
