The other side calls the anti-capitalist and anti-globalization names because they can't come up with anything better. This is always a good sign that the other sign is getting desperate. Even their intelligent hired guns are firing blanks. I've never taken a class in economics, but I'm working through the recent Economist "Survey on Globalization" and I'm finding that their arguments are so full of holes. I think they are trying to reassure their audience, the ruling class troops, that they are right. This doesn't seem like an attempt to get anybody outside of their readership on thier side.
