Did you enjoy Monbiot's piece?
I suggest, you re-read it. Yes, much truth in it, but (IMO) only to plant establishment version of reality conveying massive #powerlessness: Friedman/Hayek sensible, Keynes is out & no heterodox today. TINA in other words.

Monbiot continues (implying Hillary was only sane choice and facts only relat to her):
