The centre-right: Old dogs and new tricks

In many prosperous democracies, a crisis-driven backlash against the political right failed to materialise. Why so?

“THIS financial crisis”, said Daniel Cohn-Bendit in 2008, “is for capitalist neoliberals what Chernobyl was for the nuclear lobby.” As the recession began claiming the livelihoods of ordinary workers, other politicians of the left avoided the incendiary glee of the German MEP and former street fighter. Still, many shared his expectation of a popular backlash against their foes on the right.

It seemed plausible at the time. The conservative predicament was embodied a year and a half ago by John McCain, whose campaign floundered on the issue of the economy as the implosion of Lehman Brothers portended a banking crisis.

Tricks of the trade

Can the world stop governments from paying for the over-exploitation of fish?

OVERFISHING erodes future prosperity by destroying today a resource that could yield benefits indefinitely. Yet it is subsidised by billions of taxpayer dollars, euros and yen. Now a new chance to halt this insanity has emerged in the unlikely form of climate-change negotiations.

Landlubbers hand pots of money to fishermen. Rashid Sumaila, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, estimates that in 2003 (the most recent year for which data are available), the world’s fishing subsidies were $25 billion-30 billion. The value of fish landed in the same year was $82 billion. Furthermore, Dr Sumaila reckons that $16 billion of the subsidies either promote overcapacity by helping fishermen buy new or bigger boats or encourage overfishing by subsidising fuel. …
