[Assam] Market mechanism or GOVERNMENT-which??

[mc mahant]

[In 1944 the great Hun­gar­ian po­lit­i­cal econ­o­mist Karl Polanyi penned
The Great Trans­for­ma­tion in which he vi­tu­per­ated con­ser­v­a­tives for
pri­va­tiz­ing com­mon prop­erty re­sources. He writes, for ex­am­ple, that
“allow[ing] the mar­ket mech­a­nism to be the sole di­rec­tor of the fate of
human be­ings” will “re­sult in the de­mo­li­tion of so­ci­ety.”

I was born in 1984 and since the year of my birth the num­ber of human bod­ies
in the United States lan­guish­ing under some form of state sur­veil­lance has
bal­looned by nearly 400% de­spite a U.S. pop­u­la­tion ris­ing ten times as
slowly.

I was born in 1984 and since the year of my birth the num­ber of pri­vate
cor­rec­tions fa­cil­i­ties has bur­geoned by 4000%. I was born in 1984 and
since the year of my birth the num­ber of black men in prison has grown by
800%; 73% of peo­ple of color in­car­cer­ated since 1984 are non-vi­o­lent,
drug-re­lated of­fend­ers.

I was born in 1984 and since the year of my birth the num­ber of black men
in col­lege has with­ered by al­most 50%. Today, there are some 820,000 black
men in cells, but only 270,000 in dorms.-]
