Wherein the NYTimes finally agree with the 1990's WTO Protests.

"It turned out that markets on their own weren’t able to automatically distribute gains fairly or spur developing countries to grow or establish democratic institutions."

@Theblueone I wasn't aware of the author before last week, but she's quickly earning my trust.

@Theblueone have you read Sullivan's speech? It was quite a departure

@costrike It basically says all the concerns of the 1990s WTO protests were essentially correct. Not sure yet how I trust the author because it's salted with lots of elite passive-voice “who could have seen these coming?” caveats.

Still an unexpected admission in the paper of record.

@Theblueone It covered a lot of ground that tends to get ignored. That's a good start.

@costrike Yeah, that’s not trivial
