Brazil's Democracy Takes a Chance
By JEFFREY W. RUBIN

Good piece, well argued. Read it over coffee this morning. It's one of the unfortunate consequences of the extension of globalization via a very narrow "markets only" perception. That produces wide disparities of wealth which are inherently destabilizing.

I'm not only afraid, however, Rubin is whistling in the wind; it looks as if we are in for many seasons of instability with the widening wealth disparities within societies and, of course, across societies as well.
