An OurKingdom exchange: Neo-liberal nihilism?

A debate on the morality of neo-liberalism - and of the bankers behind the financial crisis.

OurKingdom, openDemocracy's group blog on British politics, has been running an exchange on the morality of neo-liberalism - and of the bankers behind the financial crisis. It began with contributing editor Thomas Ash's commentary on a Guardian column on the subject by David Maquand, and Marquand's response. The conversation has now turned to a debate between George Gabriel and Thomas Ash, with Gabriel attacking the 'moral vision' of neo-liberals and bankers, and Ash responding. Read the debate at the links below, and join in through the comment threads:

George Gabriel, 16th June
