Nem sempre ter o discurso de Ayn Rand significa ser pró-mercado na prática

O comentário, do site da FEE (www.fee.org) é:

Bush Picks Business-Friendly SEC Chairman
6/3/05
“President Bush, hearing complaints about Mr. Donaldson's [SEC] record from across the business spectrum, responded on Thursday by nominating Representative Christopher Cox, a conservative Republican from California, as a successor whose loyalties seem clear. …Mr. Cox—a devoted student of Ayn Rand, the high priestess of unfettered capitalism—has a long record in the House of promoting the agenda of business interests that are a cornerstone of the Republican Party's political and financial support.” (Washington Post, Friday)

Pro-business is not the same as pro-market.

E a notícia no TNYTimes (um breve registro é necessário) dá a entender que o discurso e a prática são os mesmos. Bem, o TNYTimes não é mais o mesmo, a gente sabe, mas é uma fonte que a elite brasileira (inexplicavelmente?) lê.

Amigo das corporações, mas não necessariamente dos mercados....
