We are still drowning in the morass of the collapse of the consumer capitalist empire, Greece is on its knees and being beaten down even furthr, in a desperate attempt to keep the broken train on the wrecked track. Economists are still arguing this way and that, usually beginning their opinion with the classic cliche ” the reality is”. The reality is far from economics only, as J K Galbraith said, ” Economists make astrologers look like scientists”
Good pop song at the moment puts it a lot better than those said economists, by Jessie J,Price Tag.
“Seems like everyone’s got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and smile
Its not about the money money money
We don’t need your money money money
We just want to make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain’t about the cha-ching cha-ching
Aint about the ba-bling ba-bling
Want to make the world dance
forget abou the price tag”
Says a lot.
