I've been trying to talk people into watching PBS's three part mini-series on the global economy, "Commanding Heights." It's awesome. pbs.org Economic history is the ugly stepchild of social science. Historians turn up their noses at economics, economists turn their noses up at pure history. Those of us in the middle realize how much the others are missing, but we also understand that we're the odd ones out. Weird, because I don't think anything is more important than the intersection between economics, law, and political science. But that's my own bias. Turning to your argument. I am perfectly happy to concede that great numbers of people in the world are misled by unworkable ideas. The question is, how do you change their minds? Man is, more or less, a rational animal. If men are led astray by foolish ideas, it's not because they intend to be foolish. Quite the opposite.
