"Careening from debt-ceiling crisis to sequestration to a looming government shutdown, the nation is caught up in a historic debate over the proper size and role of government.
That's certainly one way to think about it. Another is that we are caught up in a historic debate over free-market capitalism. After all, if markets were making most of us better off, regulating their own excesses, guaranteeing equal opportunity and fairly dividing the economic pie, then we wouldn't need government to take on all the things it does."

Great piece. Even as the owners of capitalism and rank consumerism are re-thinking their ways, African leaders and intellectuals are busy destroying the poor so they can have their lattes and ice cream over the dead bodies of the poor. Governor Fashola ought to hang his head in shame. No compassion.
