I say 'Nuts'!
Given the guy was a Airborne Ranger, I've always doubted that these were his exact words.
Nevertheless, I too say, NUTS.

I believe we are both rabid free market advocates who wish to curtail the government's role in micromanaging the economy.

I kinda like the author.

In my view, the author's analysis is essentially correct.

I part with him when he says,"I consider it highly unlikely that corporatism can be overthrown."

Maybe I should have compared him to Orwell's 'Goldstein' instead of Burnham. ;^)

Like the other socialisms, 'Corporatism', if we should call it that, can survive only for the time it takes to squander the economic, political, and social capital accumulated by preceding generations.

Whether this end comes wildly and unpredictably, or deliberately and rationally, depends somewhat on the resolve of the Republican Party to restore Constitutional government.

All IMHO.
