"[D]efies left and right orthodoxy by arguing that worsening inequality is an inevitable outcome of free market capitalism."
Huh? How does that defy left orthodoxy? Edsall might want to pick up some Leftist works... Maybe something from that little known author Karl Marx.
- dragonwriter 13y agoYou probably won't find any references to "free market capitalism" in Marx, since the "free market" marketing label was only added by supporters of capitalism to distract from the socialist critique in which the system organized and managed to serve the interest of capitalist called "capitalism" was named. Treating "free market capitalism" as if it is a meaningful term defies left orthodoxy, arguing that it is something other than ideal defies right orthodoxy.
