Who Won In The End?

"Under Margaret Thatcher, the Conservatives were able to highlight the growing economic opportunities offered by the market, making it increasingly clear as to which was the winning side," writes Peter Franklin.

Really? We are on the brink of nationalising a bank (which used to be much better-run as a mutual building society closely tied to a locality) in order to counteract the ruinous consequences of the anti-conservative "free" market for the thoroughly conservative Common Good.

What next? We shouldn't have to wait too long to find out.
