The standard reading of the current government shutdown is a relatively simple Republicans-versus-Democrats tale. But as the shutdown enters week four, the stalemate can’t be explained as just a continuing partisan clash.

Liberalerna gick i dagarna ut med beskedet att de gärna ser ett fortsatt Tidösamarbete efter valet men att de inte vill se Sverigedemokraterna i regeringen. Partiets positionering har kritiserats som verklighetsfrämmande givet SD:s kontra L:s storlek, den har även försvarats med utgångspunkt i just det sistnämnda. ”SD äter upp oss” sammanfattar den senare analysen, även […]| Motpol.nu
And you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink lika a stone for the times they are a-changin’ Bob Dylan Kapitel IV Vari vår hjälte drar sig till minnes sin ungdom.

An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur? Axel Oxenstierna m.fl. Kapitel II Vari vår hjälte fortsätter att vara upprörd. Som sagt: vad är det egentligen för hemskt som nyliberalismen har gjort? Varför avskys den så intensivt (eller åtminstone så retoriskt högljutt) av så många? 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. Ända sedan upplysningstidens filosofer, ända sedan trumpetsignalen i Beethovens Leonoraouvertyrer har liberalismen velat ha ett bestämt slags människa. Hurudan? Enkelt uttryckt: en som växer. 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
