Mr. Brooks is giddy, he has discovered the joy and wonder of the British Class system,its exclusive schools and their newest representatives, in a regime that has dedicated itself to the final dismantling of the welfare state, that odious creation of post World War II British Utopianism: a political/moral wrong turn in the view of our thinker. Now, the failure of the Free Market Ideology might have contributed to the implosion of the World Economy in 2008; but Mr. Brooks adopts the new in economic thought, which at this historic moment is the notion of 'Austerity', but not for capital or Capitalists. Mr. Brooks and his fellow travelers argue for economic policy indicatives of a mangled, maladroit conservatism that moves wantonly from failure to failure, with due regard only to necessary adjustments to propaganda : permutations to meet the needs of their, both, focused and diffuse economic incompetence.
Mr. Brooks proclaims the failure of American politics while praising the success of British politics. One suspects it is not the politics,per say, that are successful, but the argument and the practice of Austerity that is ascendant in Britain, which can be considered as our thinker pet project, as bookend to the great theft and swindle of The Free Market Ideology.
