After a financial meltdown leading to a severe recession on the Republican watch, and the flailing response of the Bush administration and the incoherence of congressional Republicans, one area that invites urgent new thinking is economic policy. It will be important, over the next four years, to fight to save free-market capitalism from the Obama administration. It will be almost as important--and more interesting--to figure out how to save capitalism from its own worst aspects and most damaging tendencies.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Socialism. An "adaptable Capitalism". What's the difference?

Mr. Bill? If Feudalism worked it would still be around.

It is interesting to see conservative writers talk about the future by remembering the past.

The past is to learn lessons from not to try to go back there, Kristol and company need to look forward and stop trying to emulate history, arguing original intent and all those other code words that mean "not changing" sounds good to populists but we are not all in that club. (for growth) HE HE

Kristol and company have spent millons of words and dollars on how to be a good conservative, now is the time to talk about what a good american should do. If you see yourself as a conservative first then where does the american come in?

Kristol and his kind just want to hang on to their ill-gotten and/or inherited gains and dubious status. That's what makes them creatures of the Upper Right. Understandable. But not something that should be accommodated.

Basically, conservatives of the Kristol School are in the very lucrative business of whining about lost privileges.

The only thing that will bring the GOP back from the dead is if Obama and the Dems muck up.
