I have not followed Sachs closely in most recent times but I think he
would
strongly object to being called a 'man of the left'.
maybe I was being too charitable on this point ... I'd say he's a "man of
the left" in the same sense in which Brad DeLong is ...
[In other words, a man of the left as perceived by someone who needs a hit
of clozapine. Here, chosen at random, is a recent selection from
Brad-the-Celebrated Lefty's windy blog:]
It may be because Barbara Ehrenreich is a typical voice of the American left
that it will in all probability be a waste of ink and paper to put her on
the Times op-ed page, but a waste of ink and paper it will most likely be.
I agree that Barbara Ehrenreich is a very smart and graceful writer, a keen
analyst of American culture and society--she is worth, say, ten of David
Brooks. But her brand of left-wing politics is an infantile disorder.

Well, Sachs writes better than DeLong, with much fewer cliches.
