Democracy (i.e. political influence) and ownership of productive assets are the exclusive domains of the New Aristocracy. I have often used the words neoliberal, neocolonial and neofeudal to describe our socio-economic-political status quo. Here are my shorthand descriptions of each term: http://ads.investingchannel.com/adtags/OfTwoMinds/alternativeinvesting/300×250.js 1.

The expression, “If […]
