If anyone still labours under the illusion that the human being is a rational being they need look no further than Britain's coalition government for evidence that will finally dispel that illusion. Following August 9th 2007, the day that the CEO of Northern Rock, Adam Applegarth, said had changed the whole world, we were comprehensively shown that the fundamantal assumptions underpinning free market and neoliberal economic theory were in tatters. These monumental events proved once and for all that the human being may have the capacity for rationality, but most certainly does not start from that basis, indeed quite the opposite.
It is now over 5 years since these dramatic and world changing events, but still the British government, nor the majority of its people, have learned one thing from their experience. Government still labours under the failed theories, still applies the same discredited policies and still refuses to accept reality. That is why they are failing and must fail. You cannot have a successful conclusion from a false hypothesis. So, why are they continuing with what are demonstrably stupid and dangerous theoretical assumptions?
Class, that is why. Greed on a monumental scale. The description of the Prime Minister and his Chancellor as arrogant public schoolboys is absolutely spot on. The Tories, and their Liberal partners are simply class warriors, who have a towering contempt for ordinary people, and a hatred of working people in particular. The free market experiment based on neoliberal economic theory begun by Thatcher has failed, and has demonstrably failed, but this will not be accepted by our ruling elite, why? The why is that they know that their ideology is bankrupt but that they are intent on looting as much of the country's wealth as they can before the people finally waken up to reality and get rid of them.
British government is dictated by a determination to stick with policies that are deeply damaging to the British people and are destroying the social fabric of the nation in a manner that is threatening to become irreversible, and they don't care. Make no mistake, the health service in England and Wales will very soon be completely privatised and run by foreign business interests for profit. These people are slowly but surely introducing modern sophisticated forms of slavery and they are being aided and abetted by the British government. But, you voted them in and if you continue to vote for such people and their policy agenda then you will get what you deserve.
Now you tell me that British government and the British electorate are rational individuals! I will return to this theme later as I should explain why people are not naturally rational and should not expect it to be self-evident, even though it is.
