NEWS FLASH from AUSTALIA to THE BRITISH PEOPLE You were stupid enough to let the economists convince you to sell of your public assets and then even dumber to let Macquarie buy your water infrastructure. Sorry but I don't know any other way to put it except we also listened to the same type of economic nonsense and its choking our economy right now.. I recently watched the IIPP at UCL host Brett Christophers for a book talk on Asset manager Capitalism. Its here on YouTube and is titled "Our Lives in Their Portfolios: Why Asset Managers Own the World". Previously I had watched Mark Blyth give an ominous warning about Asset Manger capitalism in his talk at the Watson Institute which is also here on YouTube and titled "Mark Blyth– Asset Manager Capitalism". He includes a diagram of how this system works. FYI - We tried reining in Macquarie (along with the rest of our banking and finance industry) and what they were doing a few years ago and FAILED. The Economists stepped in and stifled every suggested action, because in their words "it would harm the economy." What they really meant was that it would hurt their bonus packages, their stock portfolios and their retirement packages. They simply threw the rest of us under the bus.
