Economic freedom trumps political freedom
BARNETT
OP-ED: In Fear Of Chinese Democracy, By Harold Meyerson, Washington Post, April 4, 2007; Page A13

A wonderfully pinheaded piece by Meyerson, who hasn't written anything good in years. In it, he displays the typical American manner of defining freedom purely in political terms while ignoring its economic roots. Plus, like most Americans, he wants his revolution now, despite the 750-million or so still living in poverty.

Pick up the pace China! Rich Americans don't see enough chop-chop!

Ask your average American their definition of freedom and they'll pick Starbucks over political pundits any day.
