What The Future Papers Say

Those clever folk at Reclaim The Sheets have been busy distributing copies of FT2020 in London today. With their special link up to journalists living in 2020 - that's the future to you and I - Reclaim The Sheets have managed to tele-transport several copies of FT back to 2009. Pick up your copy from the streets or view online. News from the future is here.

A message from the future
From: Terence Hofmann, FT, 1Apr20 Capitalism isn’t really democracy - official

"“Capitalism doesn’t work in a free market ... To function, it needs regulating, and to thrive it requires manipulation.”
Britain’s break with dominator culture started at the 2009 climate talks, though the Copenhagen Consensus deleted all reference to it. Instead, that deal was framed as “sustaining ethical business, going forward.”
Today’s propaganda release is more forthright, describing post-ideology as “a framework-based market, not the market-based framework” of times past.
“If you gave more than you got you were always a loser,” the statement concludes. “But we were only winning by claiming our economies were ‘growing’, and to do that we had to take much more than we gave.”
