The mainstream media and Ivy League academics, instead of helping, only make matters worse by casting everything in the usual politically correct mold: Arab terrorists are just desperate freedom fighters, and the region's one free democracy -- Israel -- is the oppressor, not least because of its alliance with America. And if Islamic extremism...

La hegemonía neoliberal que se impuso hasta la crisis financiera de 2008 es mucho más que políticas de austeridad, financierización de la economía a expensas de la economía productiva, gobierno de expertos y brecha cada vez mayor entre élites privilegiadas que toman las decisiones y una sociedad que sólo se despierta cuando ve afectada su capacidad de consumo.
