America’s sell-out begins

I recognize that we of the Bookworm Room set do tend to be trend setters and prognosticators in intellectual discourse, but I take a special pride in the fact that we have established, through previous discussion threads, the template allowing none-other than distinguished Harvard historian and financial economist, Prof. Niall Ferguson, to put divestiture of America’s assets on the table for discussion.

Ferguson’s erudition on the subject appears in Newsweek here:

Frankly, I think that we can all agree that Ferguson is welcome to stop by here any time in search of intellectual stimulation and ideas.

Let the sell-out begin.
