Anyone who has the courage and convictions to be the guy on the far left.


Being on the far left doesn't require "courage and convictions" so much as it requires that you be able to ignore human nature, consider yourself superior to the majority of people, be historically illiterate and most importantly, desire to control other people's lives.


I beg to differ: For example, Milton Friedman's theories work mainly on paper and in small limited areas, however, the reason they do not work in real life large scale is his total lack of factoring in human nature as a variable. I think Naomi Wolfe has a good book on this, outlining the history of his efforts. For example, after Tianamen Square massacre, He stated I hope they don't blame this on me too. It is similar to when I did my ex's homework for being an Activities Director- she was studying Maslow. Maslow is most applicable in the business setting, but he is taught almost everywhere.


Milton Friedman was a world renowned economist, Naomi Wolfe is most famous for writing a book trying to discredit Milton Friedman.

Free market capitalist has worked at increasing the wealth of the common many every where it has been applied. From USA to China. You have read too much Wolfe and not enough history.


Silly! Then why did he need dictators and kill squads in South America to implement his theories. The rich got richer- more wealth and the poor got poorer. American corporations are making more money than ever but unemployment is still high. State of PA's revenues are up, but they just cut another 20% out of the budget. Even Nixon was a Keyesian.

Your brain has been rotted by Naomi's invective. Milton Friedman was invited to Chile 2 years after the coup. While there, he gave several speeches, including one that was pointing out the problems with military governments (like Pinochet's). He met with Pinochet and gave him a letter outlining Chile's worst economic problems. That was the sum total of his involvement. Naomi Wolfe disagrees with his well though out economic policies, so she straw mans and outright lies about his activities. It's shameful and you have fallen for it.

perhaps you failed to read and research the footnotes/documentation about his direct and indirect involvement. However, let us just agree to disagree. This is a thread about Heros not economics. It would not be appropriate to attack someone's else's hero like they did with Marion "John" Wayne.

Saying McQueen was just another dude is like saying the Grand Canyon is just another hole in the ground.
