Inevitable end of capitalism postponed until next time
Not that I want to be putting a downer into the pint glass of every piece of potentially exciting news - and much as I would love to see the collapse of the global economy - but Simon Jenkins has interesting things to say this morning about why the 'credit crunch' probably won't, in the long term, affect capitalism very much at all.
Meanwhile, almost to illustrate his point - and in the same paper - young Master Freedland is still talking balls. It seems that in order to be a Labour-supporting Guardian columnist you need endless reservoirs of hope and a striking ability to deny reality. I guess that's what they pay them for.
Still, there is some good news. Over in America, Barack Obama is apparently going to steal the election. A little bit late, but justice postponed is better than nothing.
