Questo stralcio di un articolo di M.Hudson è troppo importante per non riportarlo integralmente senza tanti commenti se non queste due considerazioni.
Il thread corretto mi è sembrato proprio questo : la nuova civiltà perchè stiamo vivendo (da duemila anni ) la vecchià civiltà imperniata sul diritto romano che mette in cima alle "tutele" quella dei CREDITORI
Il secondo aspetto da sottolineare è il ritardo della sinistra di origini marxista nell'aggiornare i propri cavalli di battaglia .
E cioè che il comunismo è solo un'utopia pericolosa e che i temi ,importantissimi, della diseguaglianza e delle conseguenti ingiustizie ,devono cedere il passo a quello che è il tema centrale e cioè la remissione del debito in particolari circostanze.
"At issue is who will lose when employment and business activity are disrupted. Will it be creditors and landlords at the top of the economic scale, or debtors and renters at the bottom? This age-old confrontation over how to deal with the unpaid rents, mortgages and other debt service is at the heart of today’s virus pandemic as large and small businesses, farms, restaurants and neighborhood stores have fallen into arrears, leaving businesses and households – along with their employees who have no wage income – to pay these carrying charges that accrue each month.
This is an age-old problem. It was solved in the ancient Near East simply by annulling these debt and rent charges. But the West, shaped as it still is by the legacy of the Roman Empire, has left itself prone to the massive unemployment, business closedowns and resulting arrears for these basic costs of living and doing business.
Western civilization distinguishes itself from its Near Eastern predecessors in the way it has responded to “acts of God” that disrupt the means of support and leave debts in their wake. The United States has taken the lead in rejecting the path by which China, and even social democratic European nations have prevented the corona virus from causing widespread insolvency and polarizing their economies. The U.S. corona virus lockdown is turning rent and debt arrears into an opportunity to impoverish the indebted economy and transfer mortgaged property and its income to creditors."
