PASSION ON THE LEFT

"A Form of Looting": Interview with George Akerloff, 2001 Nobel laureate in economics (Der Spiegel)

Akerlof: I think this is the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history. It has engaged in extraordinarily irresponsible policies not only in foreign and economic but also in social and environmental policy. This is not normal government policy. Now is the time for people to engage in civil disobedience.

If this is how liberals respond to the moderate "new tone" and non-confrontational style of George W. Bush, how will they respond to a more aggressive conservative? Posted by Paul Jaminet at August 1, 2003 11:08 PM
