*I should say that when people talk about capitalism it's a bit of a joke.
There's no such thing. No country, no business class, has ever been willing
to subject itself to the free market, free market discipline. Free markets
are for others. Like, the Third World is the Third World because they had
free markets rammed down their throat. Meanwhile, the enlightened states,
England, the United States, others, resorted to massive state intervention
to protect private power, and still do. That's right up to the present. –
Noam Chomsky***
