[lbo-talk] martin wolf and positive sum economies

[Jeffrey Fisher]

well, yeah, there's that, i guess, although it's awfully hard to argue that
recessions are good, right?
the bit about the upper classes extending the franchise sounded like
hegemony, to me. just the kind of argument that the pain of a crisis is
required for things to get right sounds like neoliberal development theory
to me. which i thought we were supposed to be better than.

but i admit i could be missing something here. and i'm sick, so maybe i'm
just not thinking straight. :)

"Among medieval and modern philosophers, anxious to establish the religious
significance of God, an unfortunate habit has prevailed of paying to Him
metaphysical compliments."
