It's certainly arguable that the US policy towards Israel-Palestine has not been in the interests of US state-corporate power. That's been argued in the mainstream. I suspect if you did a poll of energy corporation CEOs, that's what you'd hear. ...

Take the US. In 1750… it was one of the richest societies on earth, but it was, of course, pre-industrial. If it had pursued its comparative advantage in accordance with market principles, it would now be exporting fish, fur, agricultural products...

Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky
Chomsky's ZSpace page
Privatization of "services" (water for example) is both for corporate profit and for undermining democracy. In both cases, virtually by definition. Thus such privatization removes matters of crucial public concern from the public arena, where t...

I reeived this in Email. It is a short essay by Kim Peterson. Relevant here, more so than on the main site, I think. Up to now, there is no National Hockey League (NHL) fare for ice hockey aficionados. The public NHL players and behind-the-scenes...

First, nothing remotely like capitalism exists. Is the US economy, relying crucially on the dynamic state sector, a capitalist economy? But putting that aside, was it an argument in the 18th century to say that feudalism, absolutism, rule by King...
