Re: <nettime> honest work |
Since this advert is for the Global Business Network, I think that the job description should include: * Uncritical belief in every idiocy of neo-liberal economics (aka free market fundamentalism, la pensee unique, etc.); * Total committment to transforming technological progress into socio-economic regression; * Blind faith in the imminent arrival of the 'Long Boom' even as the East Asian economies implode; * Absolute certainty that entering the twenty-first century is exactly the same as returning to the eighteenth century; * Never criticising the environmental damage and human rights abuses carried out by Shell or any other sponsor of the GBN. Any other suggestions from the nettime crew??
