Greetings Economists,
Ha ha, I think Max is a more interesting person than you take him
for. You have the same possibilities as him.
You have a timeline in mind. Some references to history and so on.
All right make something happen!
As for me, I may not be on Max's side but I don't mind stealing from
him what I think can move things forward. At the same time I have a
different agenda, a different audience. I'd say various currents will
start flowing. And that is what we want now.
If things polarize down the road which is what you are talking about
Carrol that will define things further, but I can't tell reformism can
be defeated. We have to have further polarization leading out of this
opportune time to hope for something like you want. What I think is
practical is establish a left movement based upon failures we can
define now, and I would not stop at reform of the U.S. economy. I
mean a left that is more than Obama style promises of reform but a
left that can define a more ambitious global system.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor

will
have worked: he will have moved the President of the United States to
action. Wonderful. Also known as crackpot realism.
