Last weekend in Just Above Sunset I mentioned that the New York Times columnist David Brooks was being
pretty clear about how we got this War on Terror idea a bit backwards. See What to Make of the 9/11 Commission's Report for that. He suggests that we need to start emphasizing ideology instead of terror – because that is what we
a fighting. Military actions have their limitations. We've got 43 million people without health insurance. We're relying on energy sources that are
politically dangerous and economically unsustainable. Wage growth is not what it should be, and yesterday's jobs numbers suggest
that strong economic growth may not be producing strong job growth. Would it be illegal in these circumstances for at least
one presidential candidate to propose policies remotely in proportion to the problems that confront us? Couldn’t have said
it better myself. But the rest is about an essay Michael Porter and Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg wrote in the June Harvard
Business Review on healthcare. Read it whole thing if that interests you. Once again, I find myself on the other side from David Brooks. Fair enough. Specifics
can cripple you. We do vote for the general approach of one guy or the other. |
