Inconstant Capitalists

An anti-immigrant site linked me to Paul Craig Roberts, who seems to be some kind of white supremacist in a professor's robe, and some fella at the Hoover Institution. He had an interesting article that seems to advocate against free trade, and for protectionism. Specifically, he sees current policies creating a class division that will inevitably lead to class war.

What's more interesting is that he is a supply sider, a position that basically advocates making the rich people richer, so that they can "invest" their money and make the economy come to life. (See: Supply Side Revolution.) This is from several years back.

So, he seems to like it when people have concentrated money and power... but only wants that money and power used to benefit people of the nation, to prevent a class war where the workers will overthrow the rich and powerful. Sounds like a new Mussolini in the making.
