I think this article sum's up certainly how i feel , maybe some of my so called left wing comrades

These paragraphs in particular
"Cable's argument was made with colour and drama because he needs to settle Lib Dem nerves about the coalition's economic agenda. They are right to be nervous, and they should not be reassured by what he said today. The coalition will make thousands of public sector workers unemployed and pray the private sector fills the space. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I don't believe it will, as it happens, and certainly not to the extent envisaged in the 2015 timetable. But that is a separate debate, one which is being held endlessly in the media. Another debate - much more worthwhile - asks whether that is the
right thing to do. Most reasonable people agree the deficit must be reduced, but current plans go well beyond what was necessary. This is a wholesale reform of the structure of the British economy.
It stems from a simple thought: market = good." (How a system can have a morality attached is a point that oft amuses me about humanity)
"This is a valid point. But there are other kinds of efficiency too. Take this fundamental question, which is no less important than the role of money. It is about the role of humans. Why should people need homes and not have them when builders are out of work? The spending review detonates on the British political landscape on October 20th. The effect it will have on inner-city councils will be severe. Housing budgets will be devastated. Ask yourself that question again in a year's time. Why should anyone be denied a home when there are builders out of work? it's a profound question.
The market is efficient for capital, not necessarily for human need."
Many of our discussions on here seem to miss an important point , the systems we use (tax epically ) are efficient, but they have become dogma's unchallenged, efficiency does not always equate to progress nor intelligence.
