I remember reading Kevin Phillips a while back and finding it interesting that someone had actually moved left as they aged instead of the other way, which is the norm I take it. For instance: the "New York Intellectuals", various sixties radicals, Shroeder, Jospin. Often the reason for the rightward movement is that when young, these folks had little money and once they became "successful" they wanted to hold on to their wealth and rationalize it. Others witnessed revolutionary prospects diminish or vanish. Besides Lind, can anyone name anyone else who has moved sorta left?
