Gotta say that was pretty, pretty, pretty good!

“In its choice of too many uninspiring candidates...rejecting all traces of radicalism, not to estrange any of its supporters and esp financial patrons, the DDP...sacrificed principles, magnetism, verve and strength for ambiguity, mediocrity, dilatoriness and decline.” 5/5

“Democrats who impatiently criticized ‘the idleness and lack of imagination’ of their party were often in evidence, but they usually succeeded in aggravating the indecision and imprecision of their colleagues.” 4/5

“The Democratic party is not fighting. It takes pleasure in its comfortable existence and believes it can hold back its collapse by subscribing to the law of inertia.” Walter Rathenau 3/5

“The powerful grip of moneyed interests on the party successfully cordoned off radicalism within the DDP on social and economic questions.” 2/5

Also, at a deeper level I think people are generally suspicious of economists’ adoration of ‘efficiency’ at the expense of economic and social justice.

I hear you. It’s one example that I think illustrates why NC economists are dangerous. Here’s a news story on it www.cnbc.com/2018/03/14/s...

Not a PR problem. A paradigm problem…most economists are neoclassical and they say shit like Narcan is bad cuz it incentivizes people to overdose.

Agreed, the reported 9.9% unemployment rate was a tipoff.
