"Neoliberal Economics" ffs ... I haven't a clue what you're on about. Probably makes for interesting discussion amongst the half pint
academics of today who are skint. I'm a simple country boy Driller who was given the chance to sell things and was lucky to succeed.
Likewise I've been a simpleton for the past 70 years following the 'Pies from early childhood - but that's leisure.
So sorry son, I can't answer your question because I have no opinion on something I'm not interested in. To me, you work hard .. you make good money and you pay the required tax. No problem, no frills. If you can't make money with one outfit, you move on. You only make money in three ways. (1) You earn it (2) you steal it (3) You win or inherit it. That's the way it is young man whether you like it or not. Some will win some will lose in life.
On a slight slant I'm looking at a book I've just got out the cabinet but not read. It's a 6th edition of "The American Civilisation - an Introduction". The book was given to me by one of the co authors who is also the author of "British Civilization" now in it's 7th edition. This guy was in my class at school and I met him again after many years, last year. This bloke is a true academic and naturally LW in his views, always wanting to make the world a more caring place but does sod all to help - only whinge about the unfairness of the world. The guy's obviously very clever (Sid may know him !!) as he's formerly an Associate Professor in English at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. So my point once again Driller is this. The world is full of failed academics who simply talk and do nothing. The ordinary guy with enough guts and perseverance to make good will prosper - but I doubt you'll understand.
