Well, a few posts ago, in “Survivalists for Nationalization,” I noted that oddity of The Atlantic running a piece by a former IMF economist touting the benefits of nationalization just after an article praising doomsday mongering and survivalism. What gives, I asked.

Was one strain of libertarian thinking about to be coopted into the same old big-government vein of reasoning?

Now, reading through  “Pieces of a Grand Puzzle” on Robert Wenzel’s blog I came across a few clues to understanding what that was all about. The IMF is getting a make-over . It’s going to be the new regulatory cop on the global beat.

PS:  Thanks to Wenzel for linking to my blog. It’s much appreciated.
