This is a really interesting and thought provoking action. Looking at their site I found the following quote;
"Anyone who thinks the spending review is just about saving money is missing the point. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the way that government works." This 'word of a UK Treasury official' has been quoted quite a lot online including by Mark Easton at the BBC; http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markeaston/2010/10/its_not_just_the_economy_stupi.html I find this statement deeply disturbing. It would appear that Naomi Klein's analysis of the neoliberal 'hijacking' of disasters (be they economic, political, 'natural', etc.) in order to push their ideologically motivated 'reforms' past an unsuspecting or outflanked demos rings true more than ever. --------------------------------------- www.askham.org www.cubed-3.org www.game-play.org.uk --------------------------------------- --- On Thu, 25/11/10, marc garrett <[email protected]> wrote: From: marc garrett <[email protected]> Subject: [NetBehaviour] University of Strategic Optimism.
