…should have been published today, but is delayed, I’m afraid. We’re still editing and adding in stuff from interviews done last month. It should be out in about a month from now (we hope).
Meanwhile, Mark Steyn on Occupy Wall Street:
You won’t be surprised to hear that Ben & Jerry’s, the hippie-dippy Vermont ice-cream makers, have come out in favor of Occupy Wall Street. Or as their press release puts it:
We, the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors, compelled by our personal convictions and our Company’s mission and values, wish to express our deepest admiration to all of you who have initiated the non-violent Occupy Wall Street Movement and to those around the country who have joined in solidarity.
Ben & Jerry’s is a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever.
Great – looking forward to it! Will we have to wait longer for a kindle version?
Yet another anti-capitalist capitalist. I know some people involved in selling very rare soul records in which they make very nice profits. They are an equivalent to art dealers as some of the records they sell are very pricey indeed. Yet, one or two of these chaps are always ranting on about ‘capitalists’ when they themselves are small business people. The irony. Maybe I will ask them for a specialist comrade discount on account of their abhorrance of profit. I consider myself a social democrat and am the first to rail againts the excesses of unbridled capitalism, but at the end of the day I am for a society that has a market based economy just one with a more human face with less inequality.
KRR – No. They’ll be simultaneous.
Winston – I think we may have bought records from the same people. I won’t name the guy who told me a few weeks back that ‘the market’ sucked while at the same time pricing a copy of the Magnetics on Sable at £3,000 (when £2,000 is probably the market price anyway), and who railed against tax avoidance by ‘the corporations’ while regretting that he could only accept cash or paypal ‘gift’ for purchases!
