"CHICAGO SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS. A great center of contemporary
scholasticism [q.v.] The economists working there and produced by it are as
important to the stagnation of useful thought as the Schoolmen of the
University of Paris were at the height of the Middle Ages.
"Like that of the Paris scholastics, their mastery of highly complex
rhetorical details obscures a great void at the centre of their argument.
They also share a tactical genius for exporting their conceptual definitions
to less important centres around the world. The result is a pleasing
symphony of international echoes imitating their calculations and cadences
so confirming their correctness, even when their policies bring economic
disaster. The percussion section of Chicago's orchestra is the Nobel
committee for economics. Each golden medal is like another congratulatory
parchment presented at the end of an elaborate theological debate.
"But what of content? There isn't much. What of Friedrich Hayek and
Milton Friedman? These minor Thomists preach little more than inevitability
and so counsel passivity.
"What they call libertarian economics is a remarkable revenge of the
scholastics on the men of the Enlightenment, who had theoretically
destroyed them. Peel away the tangle of intellectual leaves from the Chicago
School and what remains is a great clockmaker god who has set the world
ticking. But the conclusion of the Enlightenment was that god's indifference
left humans free to organize the world as they wished. Chicago has so
deformed this idea as to invert it. The great clock has been turned into an
absolute, all-encompassing system. Better than an ideology, the world is its
own absolute economic truth. We must remain passive before its majesty.
"This is a denial of Western experience. It is nonsense which simply
comforts the power slipping increasingly into the corporatist structures.
"Strategic thinking can save a great deal of time wasted over tactics. A
large number of America's economic problems, and those of the West [and
of the world?], could bFrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 18 06:49:09 1999

(1)
I'm getting the following errors with SSH:
Green Wed Mar 17 11:15:12 PST 1999 ssh OK: SSH-1.5-1.2.26
Protocol mismatch.
and wanted to know how to get rid of it...
(2)
I would like to add a link into the header which will take
the user to another monitoring page we use, but if the
index.html gets re-written on updates, I'm assuming that
I'll need to do it somewhere else... Any ideas?

e solved by shutting down the Chicago School of
Economics.
"This would not prevent the academics employed there from preaching
their essentially anti-social and amoral doctrines. They would be gathered
up with delight by the hundreds of imitation Chicago Schools. The purpose of
closure would be simply to disentangle a tendentious ideology from its
unassailable position within contemporary power structures. The same sort of
liberating shock treatment was applied to European civilization in 1723 when
the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) was disbanded. The effect was to set free the
ideas of the Enlightenment."

1994)
