So, how is this liberal model, closer to the fact of the last seventy years in
capitalist countries more democratic than the models used in socialist countries ?
"Technocracy " is bureaucracy. Galbraith endorsed technocracy, no ? The private

I don't see any originality in Krugman's argument. The same story written

liberalizaton it favors. But it almost never happens". Bingo! capitalism

there's no originality in his argument. He proved himself to be original
and clever a few years ago, so he doesn't have to be so any more. Instead,

i did *not* mean by "originality" "creativity" or "cleverness". I meant

Technocrats in power in a post-capitalist country can
also set themselves up as a new ruling class, as in the old USSR.
True, but now. In the past, USSR was a socialist economy, neither a "state
commanded capitalism" nor a "free market capitalism it was "state

I am somewhat confused by the term technocrat. Is it used to mean one who

yeah, but nowadays, as I understand it, a "technocrat" is simply an
