There is this personality and an ad campaign for the Greater Building Society, or bank, seen here on their doors and in the media.
Full marks for trying. Investments. Sure, Jerry is cagey with money and most things, yet, on the negative side, he is near the centre of economic melt down and the footage was no way like a local shopping centre as I think was intended.
A prize to see him in 'Vegas is offered. Has this swayed the investor/borrower?
It is good to remember him in the series with the devious plots that were simply constructed out of nothing. 'Out of nothing' - sounds like the tactics of the investment bankers.

While currently witnessin' a sort of discontinuity or rapid change in the economic base will a transformation of the superstructure follow on? Or are we only talkin' about a steady trend?

'Ya all kno' how culture, art, religion, political institutions - all the ideologies - are more resistant to change but according to Marx will be transformed. At least, that's what this simple blogger-mom read. Our traditional attitudes are supported but are also subverted by the economic sphere. What does it all mean?
Will it be a different story where, according to the rhetoric, there's only a middle class?

.....what we produce is always miles ahead of what we think......
another tenet:

Mankind always takes up only such problems as it can solve ....we will always find that the problem itself arises only when the material conditions for its solution already exist or are at least in the process of formation. Marx.
