First, neoliberalism is a matter of faith for McArdle. Second, the commitment to and application of alternate economic paradigms are for her signs of ignorance.J—https://www.blogger.com/profile/18170012454374960050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-1950894253425591252007-09-28T16:37:00.000-04:002007-09-28T16:37:00.000-04:00Megan wrote: "also, none of them [including rising...Megan wrote: "also, none of them [including rising income inequality] have anything to do with Alan Greenspan's job at the Federal Reserve"<BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm afraid Megan has no idea what she is talking about. and she is talking about economics!<BR/><BR/>See: Created Unequal by James Galbraith<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Created-Unequal-Crisis-American-Pay/dp/0226278794/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-3922252-1807229?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191011832&sr=8-1RJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137628959509536282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-87541293733239072482007-09-28T15:54:00.000-04:002007-09-28T15:54:00.000-04:00I heard part of the interview she's referring to. ...I heard part of the interview she's referring to. And Megan's right about one thing; Klein did seem to imply that an increase in the number of government contracts issued was indicative of crony capitalism, which of course isn't necessarily the case.<BR/><BR/>Still, the rest of that post was incredibly unprofessional and nutrition-free, just like you said. I'd forgive this if she were "live-blogging" something important, like the Miss America pageant or something.<BR/><BR/>For someone who is supposedly so well-versed in economics, she doesn't even bother to try to explain why she takes issue with Klein, thus leaving her readers in the dark.Fishbone McGoniglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296472885854104262noreply@blogger.com
