[lbo-talk] ending the drug war?

[Dissenting Wren]

Wolf can be an utter dick, and he didn't get where he is by being heterodox, but 
he's smart, thinks things through for himself, and says what he thinks. 

 Sometimes that means he comes out with stuff that breaks with orthodoxies.  He 
also doesn't seem to be very interested in serving as a gatekeeper who keeps 
heterodox perspectives out.  I saw a clip recently where he let Yves Smith nail 
Larry Summers' hide to the wall with a question that Summers could only answer 
by blustering irrelevant nonsense.

But why should I have all the fun?  Here it is:

I have to say that I thought hell would freeze over before I read this from 
Martin Wolf in the Financial Times.
