Patrick Bond asked, >Why stop at the (broadly-characterised) point-of-production? and argued convincingly for: >Corporate campaigns aimed increasingly at both the power and >vulnerability that characterise firms' financial relationships. To which I would add, that the strategic state policy framework for the dominance of finance is NAIRU -- the North American Initiative for (W)Recking Unions (more commonly known as the Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment). Tactical targeting of firms' financial relationships would be most effective within a comprehensive anti-NAIRU strategy. Which, at the risk of repeating myself, brings me back to the struggle for the generalized reduction of working time.
