Re: A Rorschach Test (none / 1)

ThatBritGuy:

Er - haven't we had the industrialised cliche glibertarian utopia for the last couple of decades?

Only in Somalia...

ThatBritGuy:

It's true that glibertarian utopias have a habit of imploding, but I'm not sure he's suggesting that.

I know it seems odd now, but back when he was writing, "liberal" really did mean something different, much closer to glibertarian than it does now.

wasnt it Clinton who bombed the Somalis last attempt at industialisation?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

No, the book is originally written in the 60's - it's only the new introduction that is after Reaganomics. And that may have been written by his son James Galbraith.

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
