Does the ruling class want to rule or not? If you own the world, and want to exploit it for the foreseeable future, oughtn't you work to secure the conditions of ongoing exploitability? That's in the nature of ruling, is it not?
The biggest crisis in the history of global capitalism. Threatening enormous turmoil for years to come. You would think that the world's ruling classes would have formulated a somewhat coherent, standardised response to the threat of pandemics. Because of the global nature of the problem, only a globalised solution could work.
Compare with the coordinated response to the global financial crash in 2008. In the medium-term aftermath of the crisis, there were significant strategic differences between the EU leadership over the timing and extent of stimulus and deficit-repayments. Nonetheless, there was significant convergence on the basic policy instruments of monetary easing, fiscal stimulus and bailouts.
