Perhaps we should look again at Marx. The present system has just destroyed English investigative journalism. Now "quis custodiet ipsos custodios?". And if we look at Parmalat, after all the others, are we ready yet to recognise the ultimate tendency of capitalism to lie to its own advantage? Even capitalist theory accepts that the greater capital drives out the lesser. Now it seems (if there ever was any doubt) that the greater capitalism drives out the truth.
