Where is the UK economy now? YouTube video by Richard J Murphy

Where is the UK economy now? youtu.be/Y3hPMyU1o4k?... The UK economy need not be stuck in a rut. It’s Rachel Reeves’ choice that it is. If only she demanded lower interest rates from the Bank of England and let the government spend to transform public services, we could be in a great place.

I'd agree that social attitudes have become more liberal. But politically, since Thatcher/Reagan, political discourse has moved decisively to the right. That refers, I'd say, to political/media elites. Arguing for eg even mild left social democratic policies is seen as 'communism'.

Thanks 😊

The fact that in a number of cases this has happened (and, in fact, has been the case in the past), doesn't equate to a shift of the Overton window leftwards. It's gone rightwards since at least 1985.

He's right. It's grounded in Hegel.

It's moved rightwards - not really 'either edge'.

I'm planning on 2 big read/rereads: Dante's Divine Comedy and Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
The Proust is the reread - I think it is the greatest novel(s) of them all. The Dante: I've only penetrated the Inferno in little raids. Which translation of the whole thing do people recommend?

Thanks 😊

Interesting. I'll investigate.

I'll check it out -I don't know it. I tend to be open minded, I hope, and ready to listen and reconsider. It's happened before!

Poulenc's orchestral music - fine in small doses. The relentless perkiness gets a bit wearing after a while. #ClassicalMusic

Never forget how the Daily Fail have spent years fueling the far-right.

This has never been about news. It's about spreading race hate and inciting violence.
