Adam Smith's invisible dead man's handle...


Workers : I'm not paid enough to live on.

Tories : Its a free market.  You're free not to work or to leave for another job.  That's the market correcting itself via Adam Smith's invisible hand where self interest invisibly corrects inequalities in the economy raising living standards for everybody.

Workers : Okay, I'm withdrawing my labour to create more demand by going on strike.

Tories: You're destroying the economy and dragging us back to the 1970s!  We're going to to make striking illegal... etc

Least ignored nonsense this month...
