"Para ser fecunda, la crítica no debe arremeter contra un hombre, sino trabajar en las ideas. La fuerza del presente análisis surge del ejemplo que Atilio Boron (Buenos Aires, 1943) aporta a sus lectores: la belleza en el discurso no debe distraernos del planteamiento ni de los argumentos (si es que existen). Es bajo esta convicción que ante nosotros -y sin anestesia- se practica un desmantelamiento político con rigor y demanda, a la altura de...

How did today's Tea Party movement really come to be? Did it suddenly appear in 2009 as a spontaneous response to Barack Obama and health-care reform? Or, was its true purpose and history something far different. Was it in fact a careful, strategic effort by two of the planet's wealthiest individuals, the tobacco industry, and other corporate interests to remake the government and seize control of one of our two national parties, ultimately gaining...
