Arguably Gordon Brown's comprehensive spending review, with an increae in the state sector and a web of corporate state regulations, plus a deliberate increase in the foreign aid budget as part of his competition for global leadership, was the counterploy.
To smite our undeniably vulnerable foes would require a moralistic attack. What the crisis of "corporate governance" in the US does is to raise the whole question of the regulation and monitoring of the highly complex structures of late capitalist economy.
How can the nominally private ownership of capitalism be maintained if its highest paid lackeys are capable so seriously of undermining conference?
