The Financial Times 29/12/06
Mr Blair does not realise that support for competitive market capitalism is not the same as the pro-business agenda with which he feels most at home. The virtues of capitalism arise not from the virtues of specific companies or their leaders, but from the fact that these are forced to compete with each other in the marketplace. The heart of the matter is the belief among the business and political establishments that exports are worthwhile for their own sake, irrespective of how much they have to be subsidised – or in this case how many principles of law and good government have to be cast aside.
