I never thought I'd be so inclined to agree with an article on the BBC website. But this one sums up our problem: UK 'has particularly extreme form of capitalism' - BBC News
Napoleon has nailed us - we're a nation of short-termist shopkeepers who don't appreciate that big, successful businesses must have a moral compass beyond a responsibility to their shareholders. We should be looking at corporations being encouraged to not lay people off simply because profits were lower than expected. Keeping more people in well-paid jobs is better for society as a whole; taxes remain within the UK, money spent is mostly done within the UK, etc. None of that socialist BS, but more of a sense of social responsibility - for the many, not the Jez.
