Jack would say there is a kind of war going on between socialism and capitalism today. That's true in some sense I suppose (though our capitalism has been fairly limp-wristed for a very long time now.). There is, however, in a related sense, absolutely a war going on between interventionist economics vs. non-interventionist economics. In the interest of full disclosure, I fall radically on the non-interventinoist side. I'm also a bit of an econ-geek and follower of the Austrian school, which, along with the Chicago School is the arch nemesis of Keynsian economics. In simplest terms, Austrian economics would be Laissez Faire and Keynsian economics would be FDR and present.
Anywho, here's the video.
