It's well written with a large swathe of citations to boot. Yes, it would be great if an ideology like free market capitalism really produced the kind of 'freedom' you talk about here, but unfortunately it produces the opposite when applied radically, like any unfettered ideology. Does corporate greed really = freedom? For corporations it does. __________________________________________________

After 7 days the communist tried to force a resignation of Gidar. Russia today is by no means a supply side economic system. __________________________________________________

rudytooty00  2008-03-17 19:14:39 "typical" liberal... well, right back at you: just throw the 'L' word in there and your argument is complete, no need for substance. That's typical. your 2nd screen: 'soviet union: from communism to economic freedom overnight'. Really? And which night was that, exactly? That place never settled into any kind of stable system in the years after 1989, unless you're thinking of the mafia? Putin has brought in some weird contortion of capitalism, which seems to be stable, but free? No. __________________________________________________
