In the wake of the financial crisis, the National Theatre commissioned David Hare to write an urgent and immediate work that sought to find out what had happened, and why.

Meeting with many of the key players from the financial world, David Hare, author of The Permanent Way and Stuff Happens, has created The Power of Yes: a compelling narrative, as enlightening as it is entertaining.

Not so much a play as a jaw-dropping account of how, as the banks went bust, capitalism was replaced by a socialism that bailed out the rich alone.

I didn't know about this play until now. Around the same time we gave a seminar on the crisis, to students at Sumy State University. In 1996, Clinton had been delivered a warning about capitalism. It may be found in the core argument of a white paper, a manifesto for people-centered economics. The author died recently while raising awareness of organised crime in orphanages.
