Round Up 06/02/09

*Don’t Call It Socialism! By Jonah Goldberg.

“Personally, I think socialism is the wrong word for all of this. “Corporatism” — the economic doctrine of fascism — fits better. Under corporatism, all the big players in the economy — big business, unions, interest groups — sit around the table with government at the head, hashing out what they think is best for everyone to the detriment of consumers, markets and entrepreneurs.”

RELATED: Jonah talks about the paperback release of his book Liberal Fascism with Katherine Jean Lopez at NRO.  If you haven’t read the book you are missing out.  Buy it, you’ll thank me later.

*Nostalgianomics, by Brink Lindsey.

“The rise in income inequality does raise issues of legitimate public concern. And reasonable people disagree hotly about what ought to be done to ensure that our prosperity is widely shared. But the caricature of postwar history put forward by Krugman and other purveyors of nostalgianomics won’t lead us anywhere. Reactionary fantasies never do.”

*Barack Obama is blind to his blunders over Islam.  By Amir Taheri.

*The Biggest Mystery in American History, by Bruce Price.

*The Breath Tax, by Joseph Phillips.

*This is cool.
