  • Polly Toynbee and David Walker: an extract from their new book on the widening gap between rich and poor | Money | The Guardian: "Yet background predicts who will run the banks and who will clean their floors. It's not happenstance; it is largely pre-programmed . General mobility is a myth. The top 10% of income earners get 27.3% of the cake, while the bottom 10% get just 2.6%." "Once our conversation turned to tax, the high-earners&# 039; arguments against rebalancing the system ranged from threat to bluster to attack. Response one: we will leave, and you will be poorer. Or: we don't deserve to be forced to pay more. Or: even if we were taxed more, the money would all be wasted."

  • Des chercheurs au secours de l?ordre établi: [par Jean-Pierre Garnier (Le Monde diplomatique)] "Coup sur coup, l?université d?été du patronat français et un colloque grenoblois organisé par Libération ont permis à de nombreux responsables et intellectuels de gauche de deviser aimablement avec chefs d?entreprise et ministres de droite. De telles opérations, montées comme autant de « coups » médiatiques destinés à promouvoir l?« ouverture », annoncent-elle s vraiment la mort de toute contestation politique ? Les professeurs et les chercheurs estiment-ils que les combats d?hier doivent se dissoudre dans les « débats » d?aujourd?hui ?" [octobre 2007]

  • Definition of bourgeoisie
  • Parliamentary expenses | Moscow-on-Tham es | The Economist: May 14, 2009 - IN THE southern Estonian resort town of Otepää in early 1990, the newly-elected 25-year-old mayor, Jaanus Raidal, started visiting the district?s luxurious dachas. He would ring the doorbell and ask the startled residents, members of the Soviet-era nomenklatura, or former political elite, to pack their bags. The dachas were state property, he argued, and as such should either be privatised or used to house national heroes, such as former Gulag inmates. Perks and power go together, but when the perks are abused, power withers. The spectacle of Britain?s political elite being caught in the act of sleazy self-enrichmen t has curious echoes for anyone who remembers the decline of communist power in Europe 20 years ago. That system survived, at least partly, on perks. If you played along, you gained a nice place to live, better clothes, good education for your children and other such important advantages.
