CB: I want to know how this modern American ruling class makes decisions.
for collectively-made decisions, usually via the government (as with the creation of the Federal Reserve) which aggregates and tries to reconcile the opinions of various interest-groups of the ruling class (the Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, the Council of Foreign Relations, etc., etc.) A lot of "decisions," however, it's a matter of after-the-fact results of decisions made in a decentralized way. None of the decisions necessarily serve the _long-term_ collective interests of the capitalist class, of course. They sometimes fuck up. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
