Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said the current global financial crisis has "laid bare the weaknesses of unbridled free markets".
The markets must reflect society's values, including "fairness, stewardship and co-operation," he said.
Mr Brown said he wanted to uphold these three key ethics in public policy and across the public arena, as "markets work best when underpinned by an ethic of fairness".
- What the fuck is with saying fairness every couple of lines? If he believed in fairness he would have stood for election before the people of this land, he would have been fair and granted them a say on Europe, if he believed in fairness he would take a shotgun and remove the top of his skull the cunt.
"The ethic of fairness means we reward hard work, thrift, enterprise, effort and responsible risk taking, but refuse to condone or reward irresponsible or excessive risk taking," he said.
Also, the "ethic of stewardship must restore to all financial institutions their public purpose.
..."In this uncertain world the values of fairness, stewardship and co-operation that underpin markets at their best have come of age.
OK, so what "unbridled free markets"? There was never a free market, never has been and never will be. Currency is a mechanism of the state, controlled by governments. Banks deal in money lending it out - badly in most cases thus the problems added to by inaction despite spiraling bad debts over the last ten years - and the state often sets interest rates and other aspects of the economy that force the banks to react to them.
