Rakesh, just because List was a nationalist doesn't make him a Nazi; you could argue continuum, slippery slope, etc., but there's still a difference. There's a difference between "speculators" and "Jews," since someone like Krugman could define fairly precisely what social actors and functions he means, while blaming Jews is just racist crap. Why the urge to make these leaps?
