Interesting discussion. When I have described OST, some people have
been skeptical as it to them has has sounded to "neo-liberal" and
not taking power balances enough into consideration. Obviously what
the "structure" of OST is trying to do is to take away structural
power temporarily. But some people are still skeptical about OST's
potential to do this. My own take is that OST does not always fully
succeed in this regard.
Still it is very interesting theoretically. Both there is a lot of
other (than economics) theoretical perspectives that better deal
with power.

I share your concerns, Jeff, but found this piece to
be mostly not about politics. And where he comments on current
views and policy, I was less bothered by what he was saying than
by my tendency to agree in many cases. But mostly this is
interesting and useful totally separate from his politics, I
think.

thanks Michael!
It's unfortunate that I have a lingering dislike for Mr.
Gilder, who was famous for awhile around 1981 when the Reagan
administration rolled out its economic agenda, and his work
was considered one of its intellectual pillars.
Twas a long time ago, and no doubt the man remains a hard
thinker and clear writer, perhaps with more heart than I
experienced back then.
With that caveat, I'll dig into this when I have a chance.
Thanks for sharing.

Here's a long
one, friends… But maybe an important one.
What follows is
an excerpt from a markets newsletter I've
read for maybe 10 years by a financial
expert and best-selling author Named John
Mauldin. He describes and then shares an
article by a guy named George Gilder, Who
seems to have been writing "important" books
for at least a few decades.
