Eric Hobsbawm Quotes

It Rests On The Attempt Since The 1970s To Translate A Pathological Degeneration Of The Principle Of Laissez-faire Into Economic Reality By The Systematic Retreat Of States From Any Regulation Or Control Of The Activities Of Profit-making Enterprise. This Attempt To Hand Over Human Society To The (allegedly) Self-controlling And Wealth- Or Even Welfare-maximising Market, Populated (allegedly) By Actors In Rational Pursuit Of Their Interests, Had No Precedent In Any Earlier Phase Of Capitalist Development In Any Developed Economy, Not Even The USA. It Was A Reductio Ad Absurdum Of What Its Ideologists Read Into Adam Smith, As The Correspondingly Extremist 100% State-planned Command Economy Of The USSR Was Of What The Bolsheviks Read Into Marx.
