literary intellectualism

[Charles Jannuzi]

>>mean, if Paul Krugman can argue that Mickey 
Kaus has lost his  ideological moorings and is
proceeding down the  path to perdition all  the
while spending his days rationalizing his 
ideological  transformation to himself as a "good
thing," and  can do so by making  reference to a
play by Romanian Absurdist  playwright Eugene
Ionesco  called "Rhinoceros," the day of the
literary  intellectual is not yet  gone. Surely
we should struggle to preserve  pre-modernist,
modernist,  and post-modernist High Culture as
parts of our  Plan for Human  Liberation,
shouldn't we?Brad DeLong<< 

And this makes one a 'literary intellectual'? Oh,
well, you economists will grasp at anything! I
still think your summer vacation would be far
better spent painting houses.
