ponder the world economy, bitches.

decent op-ed in the nytimes today about global trade type stuff, written by william greider of The Nation. if you're interested, give it a glance.

unlike many sharing my generally leftist political disposition, i consider myself something of a believer in "free trade." FYI, the basis for my beliefs on the matter are probably best incapsulated in this book.

that said, this op-ed notes some of the legitimate concerns about the implications of free trade for our own domestic economy. enjoy.

chris jackson is a smart mother fucker; didn't know you knew him, mc2. i took a "political economy" independant study with him, wherein it was exposed that he is my intellectual superior.

i bet this book is a long, dry read, but it would be crazy informative.
