Kristol on imagination

[Doug Henwood]

"American conservatism lacks for political imagination. It's so 
influenced by business culture and by business modes of thinking that 
it lacks any political imagination, which has always been, I have to 
say, a property of the left....If you read Marx, you'd learn what a 
political imagination could do."

- Irving Kristol, quoted in a fascinating Lingua Franca article by 
Corey Robin on John Gray and Edward Luttwak, two rightwingers who've 
"moved left" in recent years

Luttwak will be my radio guests in about 45 mins
