The free market delusion
Another British Prime Minister announces his agenda, and you can already hear the howls of pain and anger from the most tormented minds in Britain — the free marketeers. Poor Allister Heath in the Telegraph summed up the collective pain: He is the seventh PM in a decade and evidently has no clue what to do. We are living beyond our means, an ever larger welfare state sucking the lifeblood from a quasi-stagnant private sector economy that is now too small, too constrained by red tape and taxes and command-and-control policies to fund our ruling class’s socialistic ambitions.

We are living beyond our means, an ever larger welfare state sucking the lifeblood from a quasi-stagnant private sector economy that is now too small, too constrained by red tape and taxes and command-and-control policies to fund our ruling class’s socialistic ambitions.
