Thought you might like to know the Guardian asked me to write an opinion article for CiF and they have published it today.
The title is “Banking’s bond holders and the double standards over repaying debt.”

Thanks David for such a great article!
My pleasure. It was really nice to be asked to write it.
It would be even nicer if the Guardian actually *reviewed* The Debt Generation…
A review? Such is the stuff of dreams. Would be nice though.
Talking of books, a brief review in Saturday's Guardian led me to two books by Prof. Colin Crouch: The Strange Non-Death of Neoliberalism, with a chapter on "Privatized Keynesianism" (http://politybooks.com/book.asp?ref=9780745651200 ), and his earlier Post-Democracy (http://www.polity.co.uk/book.asp?ref=0745633153 ), both of which seem very relevant. I also came across Nick Couldry's Why Voice Matters: Culture and Politics After Neoliberalism (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Voice-Matters-Politics-Neoliberalism/dp/1848606621 ). They might be of some help in thinking *beyond* the crisis, rather than simply waiting for the sh*t to hit the fan (not that I'd accuse anyone here of doing that).
So pleased to see that article – really made ny day – hope it's a sign that the tide is beginning to turn.
