Later in a discreet corner:"While I've got you on your own, just refresh my memory, quick run-down ... where we're heading ... broad overview ... ball-park figure ... worst-case scenario ... I mean, what could actually happen ... do we wake up one morning and we're all ... "

Useful links, thanks.
Basically you get mucked over by fascism, then communism and now monetarism. There's a triumphalist tone to the way the chattering class of economist goes on about Greece that brings to mind a spectator sport.
Ooh, ace! The Larkin of ekonomics.
"They muck you over, your chattering classes. They may not mean to, but they do. Fascists. They fill you with the monetarism they had, and add some extra, just to be triumphalist."

I don't see it. That reads as if it *is* Larking.
Baddeley's is a more convincing parody.
