Var det den giriga och hänsynslösa nyliberalismen som ödelade de […]| Motpol.nu
Liberalismen är inte neutral. Den tar ställning i en fundamental värderingsfråga, och denna fundamentala värderingsfråga är primär i förhållande till alla teorier om marknaden, arbetet, kreativiteten och statsingripandena.

Utvecklar sina latenta […]| Motpol.nu

So, what is capitalism? The answer will depend on who's being asked. Language, like markets, basic law, and customs, is a spontaneous order. No one plans it. Words drift in their meaning in ways that probably can’t be fully explained. Language is a tool that people use to think and communicate, so it’s adapted according to needs, changing circumstances, and even confusion.| Free Association

“My Early Life” serves a key political purpose for modern democracies, recovering a vision of nobility and political greatness for young readers.
