Turning Quotes Around

Came across this in another article on Irish Left Review used in another context - ie By the neo-liberal guru Milton Friedman.

“Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable"

Couldn't have put it better myself.

To use a Friedman quote against this crisis ridden gang is indeed a sweet irony.
