Monbiot:They bleat about the free market, then hold out their begging bowls

MonsieurMonbiot is easily one of the most important writers of our time. This is his latest entry as Guardian columinst.

This is a theme you find also in his manifesto for the end to the age of coercion and the beginning a new age of consent, a book appropriately titled "The Age of Consent" (Highly recommended for its lurid, but easy to read style; I am envious at his ability to explain complex issues in such a simple and accessible way)
