There is an excellent series of historical fiction books about a fictional british empire navy commander named aubrey . It is set in the early 19th century . The series is by Patrick O' Brian . The aubrey series documents smithian liberalism and mercantilism. The yellow admiral is one of the books.<br /><br />British mercantileism,The tullip bubble of the netherlands , the east india company, the opium wars, european empirialism, they were all manifestations of early globalism and exploitation. They all eventually evolved into globalism and american exceptionalism and neoliberalism. <br /><br />It is tragic is that the bourgeois liberal academics and middle class people have accepted the evil last phase of trade liberalism which is neoliberal fascism with open arms as hedges has so vociferously documented. They have really screwed themselves and now there is little or no opposition to this police state .<br /><br />There has to be a better way. an alternative Extraction prettified exploitation economic and ecological destruction. we have gone too far. The political opposition is crushed the middle class liberalsnown pussilinomous acceptance of the frauds fantasies illusions and delusions. progressiveism and critical thinkingbis the only hope.<br /><br /> The liberal crackup and neolib neocon fascism isvwe are left with the ken buesselers of the world. The nuclear lie , the nuclear madness, the nuclear horror, is laid bare and we are left helpless to do much. The brute psycho financeers and evil monkey generals are allowed to do as they please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850795848027608997.post-62979070637119521882015-10-26T13:37:46.290-07:002015-10-26T13:37:46.290-07:00“The Pacific Is In Terminal Decline.

There was the accompanying stock bubble that left america saddled with a several trillion dollar debt. <br /><br />Ravi Batra produced an excellent book about speculative bubbles and historical cycles at that time. His book The Coming Depression predicted the 1987 stock crash. It was priscient about the 1987 crash The rotten politicians and media managed to sweep the horrendous economic decline and inequalities that began in 1987 under the rug for <br />ever since then as several bubbles and catastrophes have ensued.<br /><br />Kevin Phillips, an economic historian, who once worked for nixon, began writing about the folly of cronie capitalism under the Bushes and neoliveralism in the late 1980s He wrote the book The Conservative Crackup and several later books including Arrogant Capital in 1994 and Boiling Point in 1996, bemoaning the speculative bubbles that were and are destroying the world and america<br />economically and environmentally. <br /><br />The conservative crackup never came to pass because neoliberal and neoconservative fascists have had a stranglehold on this country since the Bushes and through Obamas reign. Hillary clinton is one of them straight from the university of chicago and milton friedmans evil ilk. Kevin predicted the dot.com bubble of 2000 based on the Clintons embrace of neoliberalism and the repeal of the glass steagal act.<br /><br />The neolibneocons control the duoply of the republican and democratic parties in the us now and we are in a full tilt inverted totalitarian police state now. <br /><br />Most neoliberals came from the chicago school of economics. The neoliberalism that destroyed chile and is destroying the planet now. Kevin Here we are at the precipice of nuclear and environmental suicide. The economic house of cards has fallen several times since Ravi and Kevins books were published.<br /><br />times. times since 2000 but we are so brainwashed braindamaged and lost we cannot see it. <br /><br />The inverted totalitarian state of wolin is in place. Woe unto those who act to quickly from those of us who personally witnessed the chickenshit strength of jade helm. Chris hedges has been hammering your topic for a decade now majia and so I will have to read your book. Liberalism is a dead empty cause in america now. Show a liberal a homeless person and tjey are likely to run and hide or lie or deny or crucify. screw all the phonies.ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
