Economics, Politics, and Religion: Social Justice |
The purpose of this blog is to discuss topics in Economics, Politics, and Religion from a social justice approach. I am a strong believer in ethics; and I truly believe that no anlytical methodology is strong without an ethical perspective that, at least, attempts to assign people their respective rights. However, there will be posts that don't analyze all topics through ethics; but all posts will mantain a tangent to one of the three subjects. |
While I was off at a beach, NY Times columnist Roger Cohen was hard at work. Cohen, you will recall, provided the most dramatic reporting on the aftermath of the Iranian June 12 elections, mingling with demonstrators on the street, with tear gas swirling and a scent of history in the air.
Last Sunday he wrote the most comprehensive summary to date of the Iranian developments and their implications for the Obama team’s foreign policy. I read it quickly at the time, but now I’ve had a chance to read it again, more carefully. It is full of first class reporting mixed with sharp political analysis.
If, like me, you are just starting to come out of your summer cocoon, this is the place to begin your reentry into the Middle East policy world.
