CROSS-CURRENTS
A sign of the times. Der Spiegel ("center-left" by German standards, far left by US standards) gives us a short, pointed essay by a German academic economist to the effect that the US risks destruction by embracing European-style socialism. Meanwhile, The Nation, (far left by US standards, barely center-left by European standards) offers this darkly humorous and well-written piece on "the death of capitalism" by a Marxist who knows his Marx.
Both are well worth reading.
