[…] estimators. So striking was the reversal that even mild-mannered ‘Kremlin watcher’ Andrew Crankshaw was moved to ask in his review if “Suvorov has been persuaded by his new American friends that he must not make fun of such a solemn subject.” (Observer 24 Oct. 1984) A year later Suvorov produces a third, Soviet Military […]
[…] at the end of the War. What is really quite astonishing is that Skidelsky’s travesty has remained the standard biography of Mosley until now.

They were intent upon the permanent establishment of a new market-driven, neo-liberal economic order based upon Thatcherite beliefs in individualism and the unquestioned merits of private and corporate capital enterprise.

[…] ‘stacking’ under the guise of free markets clearly cannot be obvious or overt, but will continue nevertheless. Why else would the government feel compelled to publish a new Competition White Paper to combat cartels?
