Bessner doesn’t qualify his personal view by acknowledging, even in theory, there are others who would strongly disagree with his reading of the historical record. Bessner's arrogant confidence about both history and economics seems quite similar to the psychology of contemporary fascists who control the censorship levers at Twitter, Google, MSNBS, ABC News, CNN, and to slightly smaller extent, the NY Times. My impression is Bessner will do his best to teach students what to think, not how to think. He’s demonstrated mastery.
While not as ubiquitous as the PillowMan, the twin “Joys” so pollute channel surfing that I really didn’t want another interview with a Behar/Reid parrot. Sir Glenn, we would have been better served had you interviewed Niall Ferguson, Jared Diamond, David Horowitz or Luke Roziak (Race to the Bottom).
