I was provoked to engage this by the anti-semitism canards in re: populism and finance.
This is a reform vs. revolution debate in disguise. I am going to pass on further explications of the practicalities of reform effort. It is true, reform does assumes you can fix things in pieces. I have no problem with people taking the opposite position, but to freight a reform position pertaining to finance with anti-semitism is, to quote my idol Ed Koch, ri-dic-u-lous.
