Famed British globalist economist Ha Joon Chang has some observations about the direction of British politics and the role of money after this latest round of political battle in Londonstan. Ha Joon recently wrote for the very liberal Guardian website that the persistent myth that the government spends too much on welfare preventing a healthy productive debate on allocation of resources and cash. Ha Joon mocked world-wide conservative beliefs that the budget needs to be balanced and basically this has always been a comment used by the wealthy classes to prevent others from enjoying the fruits and success of a empire/state and prevent the lower and middle classes form purchasing class signaling luxury items. Ha laughed and ha ha haed about how desperate the belief of this austerity is as the Laubor Party in Britain is such a joke they feel the need to watch all spending to the last penny. Ha Joon and other Keynes economists say spending has more to do with circumstances than balancing and when a country is in such stagnation balancing the budget and worries should be the least of concern.
The Cambridge University incredible professor also said that there is not huge welfare spending as claimed and that much of the welfare needs is the result of massive influx of liquidity overseas driving up real estate and pushing people ou of economic growing zones and neglecting them to areas of cheap land and little investment and job creation. This global problem and the growing divide between rich cities and the poor countryside is being replicated throughout the nation-state and allowed to develop through politicians and their gorwing need to fund political campaigns s from the very same interests demanding balanced budgets and austerity cuts.
