Meltdown UK is the story of how Britain's leaders - from Thatcher
to Blair - through arrogance and recklessness turned Britain into
an 'island experiment' for global finance and 'market madness'. It
all came crashing down in the great banking crisis - and we are now
paying the price. Following his prescient warnings in his earlier
books, The Super-Rich (in 2000) and Meltdown (in 2008) Stephen
Haseler, in this latest work, draws the lessons from the crisis.
Whilst our political class are paralysed, playing by the rules of
the old, failed, system - by cutting deficits and the public sector
- he points to 'another way'. He argues that: Global financial
'markets' caused the crisis, and now no longer function. They need
to be confronted by governments, not appeased. Britain should end
its two decades-long big business-led hatred of government, public
service, the public sector and the 'big state'. Britain's elites
need to end their love affair with the mega-rich and unearned
privilege, and instead create a much more equal society by
redistributing wealth. In order to survive, Britain needs to be
part of a bigger political union, a wider grouping of countries,
and the only one on offer is Europe. COMMENTS ON STEPHEN HASELER'S
