What a comedy of conversion is unfolding on the world stage at present! I am, of course, talking about the ongoing financial crisis. Overnight, the missionary idea of the West, the free market economy, which justified our abhorrence of Communism as well as our philosophical distance from the current Chinese system, has collapsed. On the rise is a state socialism for the rich--the bankers etc. --and at the same time a strict neoliberalism for the poor. Or to put it another way: Is the Chinese form of state-run private industry now also starting to find its way into the Anglo-Saxon centres of laissez-faire capitalism? How can we explain this revolutionary power of global financial risks'?.
