Re: Is criticising financial capitalism anti-Ameri (4.00 / 4)

But writers like the BW clown are essentially correct because,

There is virtually no place in USA to learn economics without becoming a cheerleader for the sort of "capitalism" that has lead directly to the current credit market woes.
Therefore, finance capitalism defines USA these days.
So in fact, criticism of finance capitalism is, by definition, anti American.

And because this is true, we also see that a former bond salesman (Bondad) is the go-to guy for "progressive" economic thought in USA (Dailykos, Huffington Post) and a "sound-money" hack named Whitney is the economic expert at Counterpunch.

sheesh!
