But Simone Salvatori is known for the suicide pop of SPIRITUAL FRONT, which on this album he dresses up to be variously colder or more electronic. But HUNTING LODGE also come to mind, with their driving ‘Tribal Warning Shot’, as do TEST DEPT., whose accusatory agitation shines through again and again (such as on ‘United States of Slavery’). With its tribal metallic beats, the song ‘Deserted Future’ is reminiscent of Australian industrial pioneers SPK. Salvatori’s countless appearances with the cult figures of neofolk over the last two decades (including DEATH IN JUNE and KING DUDE) have left clear traces.īut THE LUST SYNDICATE has more to offer than accusation – driving percussion, melodic fragments and gut-wrenching noise. The album is made up of critical and downright politically provocative statements, and surprises not only with its clearly defined theses on the present day, but also with some well-known guests: Michael DE Victor from the neofolk band WHILE ANGELS WATCH, the Italian genre actor Mark Thompson Ashworth, the American occultist Paul Smalley, Gary Carey from JOY OF LIFE, Sean Ragon from CULT OF YOUTH, Erin Powell from AWEN and Caroline Jago from neofolk pioneers SOL INVICTUS all appear here, positioning the album in a European post-industrial tradition.

‘Capitalism is Cannibalism’ is the title of his first work with THE LUST SYNDICATE, and the aggressive course pursued by the death-fixated cover, which is full of weapons, skulls and dildos, is an effortless and perfect fit for the tracks collected here. With his martial post-industrial pop project THE LUST SYNDICATE, he destroys all we came to trust, infecting our imaginary idylls forever. Simone Salvatori (the SPIRITUAL FRONT mastermind) brings this fury to us. This realisation brings anger, and demands an answer. Western society is devouring itself, just as it previously devoured other societies. Less encouragingly, studies also show that competition in the United States and other advanced economies has decreased over time.Capitalism is war. There is ample evidence that strong competition is associated with higher productivity. But the competition among businesses is how brilliant ideas that serve the society are spread at large.

And the world will need more creativity to solve pressing challenges like low-carbon energy and transportation or developing new vaccines and drugs to tackle the next pandemic or wave of antimicrobial resistance.Ĭompetition isn’t the only driver of innovation, of course: publicly funded research and government regulation are also essential. Innovation has led to extraordinary improvements in health and quality of life over the past two centuries.
Through competition, businesses motivate each other to increase sales by serving customers better, whether by cutting prices, improving service, or offering innovative products. After all, the power of competition is what the late William Baumol called the “innovation machine” of the modern market economy. Achieving this would require either more proactive enforcement or regulatory intervention.ĬAMBRIDGE – Ask any economist whether competition is always a good thing, and the answer will be a resounding yes. Policy makers must now recognize that healthy markets require competition between different business models as well as traditional dimensions such as price, quality and innovation.
