but very weak on the actual economics side of his material. It has been<br>
demonstrated that his economic assumptions are neo-liberal in their<br>
substance. Though this might be an interesting foray at one level, if done<br>
in a less than serious fashion it is likely to promote economic<br>
illiteracy. This may seem harsh, and buying into the<br>
neo-liberal/neo-classical framing of our situation cuts off even imagining<br>
informed fiscal options. I come from primarily a post-Keynesian<br>
macro-economics and functional finance perspective, and this sits well<br>
with my 20 plus years of being active in community centered economic<br>
activism, from entrepreneurship development, to being treasurer of two<br>
different cooperatives, to being downstream of fraud perpetrated under a<br>
false flag of left "progressiv-ism," and other investments regarding. Just<br>
finished a series of essays by Bill Mitchell which included a critique of<br>
Dean Baker's economics, entitled "With Friends, Like These..."<br>
