Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problem


MK: I couldn’t resist republishing this article here — one of the most insightful and concise descriptions of liberal democracy, or the “no-name” ideology, as the author suggests.
Written by George Monbiot , I highly recommend it to anyone grappling with the question of how we ended up where we are today.

Before sharing the link to the full article below, I’ve selected a few key passages to offer a quick glimpse:

It redefines citizens as consumers, whose democratic choices are best exercised by buying and selling, a process that rewards merit and punishes inefficiency. It maintains that “the market” delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning.

COVID-19: an invisible enemy ... or a hysteria for pharmaceutical companies' profits?

I found Dr Pascal Sacre's long and profound article on Coronavirus pandemic and the Lock-down policies around the world, very informative and educational.
The background on how pharmaceutical companies penetrate international health organisstions such as WHO, is very enlightening.
However, readers might disagree with him on the financial intentions behind most of the advocated policies during pandemics including Covid-19.
