If you didn’t hear “The New Normal” on All Things Considered Tuesday night click it on and listen!
At the end they ask for comments. I did something I rarely do..I sent them one that began with this: “I think the new normal (buried a bit in my blog entry) will be a return to realism, practicality, and, like the China where I lived for the last six years, more pragmatism on a macro level, e.g. what we’ll accept and advance in our political, economic and social institutions.”
Then I invited them to read what I had posted earlier today, below.
