How does one talk about the destruction of the status quo - instead of reform - and not consider a bloody outcome inevitable?
And how can anyone leave that obscene scene for the kids to clean up?
You folks are playing word games...now it's with John Ralston Saul's projections from history. He also wrote about the coming end of Globalization in a piece for Harper's a couple of years back. And his Doubter's Companion came out about the same time as Voltaire's Bastards. Great critique, but very, very short on usefulness except as talking points over cocktails with the elite...all of whom depend for their existence on the market. If you are not talking market reform, you are, like Saul, just making conversation. Or perhaps everybody here keeps their hoard in a sock under the mattress.
