Ironically, these corporate crooks already own all the coal (and other fossil fuels) and are happy to be making huge profits off them.

Do I dare ask which published materials of Niall Ferguson speak of bigotry,sexism,or any sort of stereotyping of people?or will I be labelled as a racist/bigot for doing so?

Please name just one page out of all his published work that is racist/sexist/ or disadvantageous to a group.

what i find amazing is that asian countries are adopting the ideas of capitalism and are creating foundations to are starting to push ahead of the west-while the youth of the west bitch about'greed'shown on fox news

I could handle Occupy Wall Street, income inequality is still on the rise, though I always think reviving social mobility and entrepreneurship are more useful, but when the Occupy movement spreads to Harvard, I started to get too confused - seems to me those protesters are just LOSERS. Does anyone there knows most Ivy colleges are the most prominent liberal institutions in the world?

[BrotherAtticus]

How open-minded. Just slap the word "bigotry" or "sexism" like a sticker onto any view and you've won. Especially if you do so passive-aggressively and with cute Christmas music! Tee hee!

So glad to see that one of the lazy op-eds against Mansfield in the online Harvard Crimson got rocked by the comment-posters. Open discourse hasn't completely died out at the Big H.

I didn't know that Harvard accepted moronic students.

Ummm ...that's charcoal, which is made from wood. Coal is mined. ...in coal mines.

It's creative commons so that everyone can share it, thanks for doing so.

may I have your permission to post this on our media group's site at McPherson Media?

"“it certainly seems strange that being capable of rape can make a person better qualified for greatness, but it’s probably true.” --mansfield. yikes, i can't imagine anyone who says this kind of thing getting a job anywhere, but apparently it's possible at harvard...

[Pinuktank]

I don't see how that is even close to supporting invasion of Iraq, The colonization of Americas, or in defending against the accusations, referring to 'indian inferiority complex'. So, no, I wouldn't see that as equally problematic. Again, I am not dismissing his economics theories based on his sideline bigotry, I am talking about the bigotry alone(though I personally don't agree with his extrapolation of the british colonialism as a reason for post-colonial success in respective countries)
