Well it may have something to do with ‘their’ monetary monomania when ‘they'
pretend to think about the issue at all; inequalities are a multidimensional
political challenge, which connects to what the rock-star of the year stated
about it being too important to be left to economists, lawyers, etc.
“Make Poverty History” is still a great slogan; leftists were getting the
ignition system for changing public narratives in somewhat working order before
9/11. Perhaps people will get tired of fatigue itself in the wake of all the
wars-struggles?
Loved the piece, btw.
