Exigo Caveo

Shareholder capitalism foists numerous manipulative structural templates on your existences - some recent instances in Britain would include the pensions "crisis", endowment mortgages, the banking sector and the various private finance initiatives.
More subtle manipulations underpin your daily lives. A couple of examples being "the small print" and "caveat emptor". Why does "the small print" have to be small? As it is informing us of legal obligations, shouldn't it actually be "the big print"? And why should the buyer beware? This encourages a form of capitalism based on the successful deceit of the masses by the few. I would reckon "exigo caveo" would flatten the hierarchy somewhat.
I realise that this has nothing to do with football but there is a far gentler form of capitalism in Greece (apart from in Athens) and many of the islands still maintain a robust form of social living. The rampant psychopathic shareholder capitalism of Britain is a major shock to the system when one returns here.
