Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

a tiny ideological spectrum (from Krugman to Hayek)

LOL. Tiny indeed. From hug-the-state socialists to destroy-the-state libertarian wackos.

Still it's fortunate for the American economic elite that the PC-left worries so terribly much about ethnic things. Yes, the banksters are evil. Lots of banksters are Jewish. Does this mean Jews are evil? Of course not. Well, some are. But that has nothing to do with them being Jewish. Indeed, the fact that so many bankers (and others in the elite) are Jewish have simple cultural and historical explanations, ironically based in the fact that Jews faced lots of antisemitism historically speaking and were forced into certain professions, professions that made them far more prosperous than people in general.

The facts remain. Obama stabbed progessive Americans in the back. He has flooded the White House with people from GS. He has donated vast amounts of taxpayer cash to banks. But I guess me saying this makes me a racist, an antisemite (ask shergald if she thinks I'm one) and I will become persona non grata among all my politically correct friends in academia. Good thing for me I don't have any.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
