Washington Post on A16

[Juan Jose Barrios]

OOH, you have the "leftists" who want those institutions to vanish because they
represent and work for the interests of the "ruling class", so to speak. OTOH,
you have the so-called liberals (in the austrian sense) like Milton Friedman and
others who would like to see those Institutions dissapear because they represent
a "restriction" to our freedom to choose and do not let markets get the prices
right.

where are you? :).
