It's a bit terrifying how "alive" the crisis of 2008 still is. 10 years have passed and it doesn't look like the economy has recovered, not by a long shot. There are strong points in this article, I can't recall exactly, but I think it was the idea of Slavoj Zizek, that the strongest point of ideology is to define something as "non-ideological". Exactly how the crisis was communicated, like something natural, a hurricane or something. Not the ideological mechanisms that allowed for the bankers to take huge risks in their loans, for sure not Henry Paulson with his bank bailout. The link to the far-right seams scary too, thanks for sharing.

I feel like it’s like that everywhere. The status quo is to convenient for upper management, while adopting sustainable policies within large companies is too cumbersome and not valued.
