Economically Speaking

Going about it the wrong way…

The government should step aside and let the markets work.  That’s the basic premise of Robert Wright’s op-ed in The New York Times this morning, and having faith in this premise.  He also points out the utter failure of government imposed economic sanctions, as noted in this little barb.

"Given that involvement in the larger capitalist world is time-release poison for tyranny, impeding this involvement is an odd way to aid history’s march toward freedom. Four decades of economic isolation have transformed Fidel Castro from a young, fiery dictator into an old, fiery dictator."

It’s an interesting read.
