Market fundamentalism has failed

Good comment in the UK Guardian, where the British situation parallels our own: Market fundamentalism has failed. Now is the time for a new vision.

"We have reached a once-in-a-generation turning point caused by the irreparable failure of our established economic order. This calls for a fundamental reassessment of our national priorities and a new politics of the common good. To put it in the epochal language of the great American historian Arthur M Schlesinger, we need to move from an era dominated by private interest to one defined by public purpose."
