Gordon Brown & Karl Marx
This quote passed on by gw is worth noting, especially when we remember Gordon Brown studied Karl Marx as a student! B&A
"I think we are puzzled by government's plan said to get us out of financial and employment problems by borrowing more and encouraging people to spend more but is it possibly linked to another plan?
"I am reminded of Karl Marx' s prediction and wonder how close we are:
"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism."
Karl Marx, 1867
