“I think there are people talking about class but they’re having to do that against the flow,” Winton says. “We’re living in a dispensation that is endlessly reinforcing the idea that we are not citizens but economic players. And under that dispensation it’s in nobody’s interest, especially those in power, to encourage or foster the idea that there’s any class difference.”
The market doesn’t care about people, Winton argues, and neither is there any genius in it. “There’s no invisible hand,” he says. “And if there is one, it’s scratching its arse.”
