653 AND FINALLY

As capitalism folds in on itself, there is, at least, one ray of light for the world of publishing.

According to the Financial Times, sales of Karl Marx’s un-pick-uppable doorstop Das Kapital are going through the roof. Anti-capitalism is a big-dollar market these days.

The FT even went as far as alerting its elite readership about yer good ol SchNEWS (see here), with a quote from issue 649 about global capitalism collapsing of its own accord without anyone “having to lift a finger - let alone throw a Molotov”.

The article is about the rise of anarchist radicals – but we’re wondering if they are feeding those in the ‘risk management’ industry with a top tip about surviving these turbulent times... Any speculators looking for a surefire boom could do worse than buying into stocks of SchNEWS at Ten - books no doubt soon to soar in value.
