To face the growing public finance crisis, noted one political scientist in the late 1970s, ‘governments have increasingly relied for financing on private financial markets’. Now you have to understand, he warned, that this ‘dependence of governments on private financial markets – which is to a great extent the result of increases in oil prices – creates additional pressures for conservative economic policies that are deferential to the interests of capital. It becomes more difficult to follow egalitarian polices of income distribution’. This was another form of limitation of government policy, doubtless more effective than all those we have discussed so far.
