Aside from the notable glibness with which the writer throws off chains of causation, the fact that the country that provides no social support to its population and commands the economy from the top walked away with all the money should serve as some warning to those, like Lind and everyone else, that continue to believe in the relevance of bipolar politics derived from combining always the same two of four policy options.
