b*********3 发帖数: 1709 | 2 Conservative foundations and donors have plowed millions into producing mind
-numbing Adam Smith documentaries—last year, they even created a virtual
pin factory, along with an absurdist farce featuring the Dalai Lama—but
they have shown little interest in, say, planning for economic and
technological competition with China or understanding the effects of
financialization. In part, this may be owing to the fact that conservatism
has become nothing more than an ideological gloss retrospectively applied to
the machinations of lobbyists and grifters. Yet on a deeper level it seems
that the conservative corpus is simply no longer capable of anything but
reflexive spasms. |
