ZeroHedge giver den gas. At sammenligne vestlige stater med en mafia, giver desværre uhyggelig meget mening.
"The mafia state of mind is all about extracting wealth that could not be extracted without state enforcement, monopoly and covert systems of control and extortion.
When the "too big to fail" banks received $16 trillion in direct subsidies and loans to keep from imploding, that was the mafia state of mind in action: the central state extorted whatever was necessary from the populace to aid and protect its banker cronies.
Once the mafia state of mind has seeped into every nook and cranny of the society and economy, it's not even recognized as corruption: it's simply the way the system works."
Se mere om Crony Capitalism her.
