Put Your Faith in Clinton?

I note Chris Sciabarra takes Robert Wright's NYT commentary piece, "The Market Shall Set You Free," as if that title had any real relevance to what he then proceeded to say.

But, while Wright suggests Bubba needs to unstrap his six-gun, and stop preaching in the street, the Saloon he wants him to enter for a drink as did Billy Clinton, is hardly a Free Market, but rather the Saloon rooms upstairs where all of the whores work the suckers. He mentions the name of one of them, The World Trade Organization, but there are others that Billy also liked such as NAFTA, the World Bank & the IMF.

Good 'ol Bob MacNamara has been doing his mea culpa about Vietnam now for several years such as in "The Fog of War," but he says nothing about his work at the WB.

These organizations have long been the means, along with the Fed, by which America's economic imperialism is orchestrated. If you have not already read the latest discussion of this, John Perkins, The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, check it out. Although Jude Wanniski had not read the book, he had some good comments about it at his web site. The book is well worth reading!
