Capitalist: “Growth is a kind of doll to me”

1433

“Growth is a kind of doll to me. Though I must say I don’t play with dolls anymore.”

“What’s that?”

The Other Newspaper’s reporter points at the doll on the floor.

“It’s something private. Something invisible. Something I play with. No. Did I just say that?”

“You said it.”

“Did I?”

“Yes.”

“What did I say?”

“You said that you are playing with the doll.”

“But that’s Trine. Come here Trine. Easy now. Mommy’s here.”
