Interesting onservation by Streeck: "Hayekian democracy serves the function of making a capitalist market society appear to be the 'people's choice' even though it has long been removed from democratic control". A "technocratic- authoritarian market dictatorship" takes over.

"....ever new ways will be sought to exploit nature, extend and intensify working time and encourage....creative finance". A good summary of our present condition by Streeck.

A detailed, lucid account of the US Financial sector since the early 20th C. Useful in explaining the changes since, particularly the Fed. It raises all the issues of 'Finance Capitalism' but is fairly functionalist in approach, & does a poor job of "searching for the cracks in the current order".

Just started this. Quotes liberal internationalist Woodrow Wilson in 1917: "keeping the white race strong" and "white civilisation and its domination of the planet." Trumpism didn't just fall from the sky. It's a product of European (Christian) colonialism. Zionism and antisemitism are by-products.

This is encyclopaedic! 2008 High Court rules the Blair government's "abject surrender to the threats" from Saudi Arabia and BAE over the Al Salam arms deal....'an attempt by a foreign government to pervert the course of justice in the UK'. Bliar later became a 'consultant' to the Saudi regime.

Many complain about the inflow of Russian money in the 2010s, much of which went to the Tories. The Yamamah arms deal dates back to Thatcher and her son Mark. Key players were her Defence adviser Charles Powell. His brother Jonathan is now Chief of Staff to Starmer. Did the same job for Tony Bliar.

Like his mentor Blair, Starmer unquestionably supports US foreign policy, eg, on Palestine. The RAF helps the Genocidal Israeli regime.
