Cappie We Hardly Knew You!
We have been in what a number of writers from Hobson to Quigley identified as"Finance Capitalism," otherwise known as"Corporatism," since at least 1929, if not earlier. El Duce's ideas now seem rather pervasive, and who knows what the future will now bring! Imagine Deng with a hat on like Mussolini's! Wonder what Chaplin could do with that?
We could use an updated version of RA Brady's, Business as a System of Power (1943), a favorite of C. Wright Mills, which candidly described in the midst of WWII, the political economies of all of the major powers. Corporatism is now clearly the big winner, and will have a harder time disguising itself as any kind of Capitalism.
