| The Limits of Free Markets, Both Economic and Intellectual |
By DAVID SCHULTZ 2018-03-17
...economists have described unregulated markets as producing externalities such as pollution or monopolies. Others see externalities to include the mal-distributions of wealth and income in the world or racial and gender discrimination.... As to the unregulated market of ideas, falsity or fake news spreads more rapidly than truth on-line... The challenge is how both to preserve the marketplace of ideas from destroying itself while at the same time preventing the economic marketplace from destroying itself and corrupting the marketplace of ideas. |

| Tomgram: Aviva Chomsky, The Fight Over the Criminalization of Immigrants |
By Aviva Chomsky 2018-03-16
While political realism demands that battles be fought for the rights of particular groups of immigrants, it’s no less important to challenge the looming narrative of immigrant criminalization and to refuse to assume that the larger war has already been lost. In the end, isn’t it time to challenge the notion that people in general, and immigrants in particular, can be easily divided into deserving good guys and undeserving bad guys? |
