They all made out like bandits at the expense of a lot of good, but not beautiful people.

So concisely well written and informative. Bravo. I wonder how many predicted this outcome so many years ago, and if those Davos persons benefited financially from these disasters.

Well, there was John Grey's "False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism" which came out in 1998. It was preceded by William Greider's "One World, Ready or Not: The Manic Logic of Global Capitalism," in 1997. Bill told me the book was used at the Univ. of Chicago in a course on globalization and it made him proud. He took a real intellectual pounding from Paul Krugman who said he was a mere reporter without economic models, so how could his views have weight? That Greider was an old school economic writer who travelled around the world for the book, talking to a wide variety of sources, labor, management & politicos. I hadn't heard John Grey's name for a long time in the US until a Russian expat living in England and writing a book on Isiah Berlin mentioned him...Vlad Vexler is the blogger on U tube...well hardly a typical blogger; Masters in Philosophy from Oxford, pays close attention to Putin's Russia and Russian history as well as the war in Ukraine.
