A few years ago _Monthly Review_ magazine had an article in which Samir Amin
(transnational socialist) critiqued some recent writing by Meade (global
Keynesian). (I believe this is reprinted in a recent book by Amin as one of
the chapters.) Guess what Amin came up with (after a very fair discussion of
the key points made by Meade)? Amin said: this global Keynesianism of
Meade's is a very fine project!....and, now listen to this: it is *too
radical*!
