I thought allowing the market to operate freely was what Truss, Kwarteng and their advisers from the Institute for Economics Affairs wanted. It did and trashed their economic nostrums.
So now we have the proof that freemarketeers are no more capable of making capitalism work the way they want than are the interventionist reformists. Capitalist market forces, not governments, decide what happens. They control what governments can do, not the other way around.
Here’s another Tory, the MP Robert Halfon, telling it as it is or at least as it appears to him. Accusing Truss and her freemarketeers of trashing “blue collar conservatism” (whatever that is, but it doesn’t sound worth preserving), he said:
“I worry that over the past few weeks, the Government has looked like libertarian jihadists and treated the whole country as kind of laboratory mice on which to carry out ultra, ultra-free market experiments.”
