“Unintended consequences”

8 November 2007

I disagree with Senator Sanders of Vermont (somewhat) that NAFTA’s results were unintentional … I tend to blame a too eagar reliance on neo-liberal economic theories promulgated by Yale and Harvard (where Salinas and Bush I both sprang from), and the naive belief that  — even though there is no unfettered captialist system in the United States or Canada, somehow sticking Mexican farmers and workers into a capitalist jungle was going to make us all rich.
