David Ruccio — You want Marxism?

Since I started this blog, I’ve read a lot of economic analysis and political commentary, much of it inane....
But you have to draw the line somewhere and, years back, I drew it at David Brooks. Talk about inane!
And then a friend comes along and sends me something I should take a look at. And so I did. It’s a review by David Brooks [ht: bn] of George Packer’s latest, The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America.
Thanks to Brooks, I’m actually going to go out and purchase Packer’s book. However, the review is interesting for a very different reason: Brooks actually waxes nostalgic for Marxism.
