Great quote
October 9, 2008 at 11:21 am by Joe BardiThe New Republic has been asking people “How will America change as a result of the economic downturn?” I was checking out yesterday’s entry by Michael Lind, a Whitehead Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation and director of its American Infrastructure Initiative, when I hit the following statement:
The emerging system might be called “lemon corporatism.” A managerial state dominated by oligopolies and monopolies, where government encourages employer paternalism as an alternative to public welfare spending, would resemble contemporary Japan and the dystopian America of “Rollerball.”
Priceless. The rest of the essay is also worth reading.
