[MCN] Outing the enemies of capitalism. The Economist, A Survey of Capitalism and Democracy, June 26-July 4, 2003

[Lance Olsen]

" … the main dangers to the success of capitalism are the very people who would consider themselves its most ardent advocates: the bosses of companies, the owners of companies, and the politicians who tirelessly insist that they are 'pro-business'.”

"Many of the corporate scandals that America, especially, has endured in recent years reflect outright criminality. A lawful order knows what to do with criminals, and pro-business politicians are in truth militantly anti-capitalist if they flinch from cracking down on bosses' crimes."

“… widespread and quite outrageous abuse, by capitalists, of capitalism … The danger exists everywhere in the world, but it matters most in the United States.”

"Water vapor strongly influences atmospheric dynamics and the hydrologic cycle through latent heat transport and diabatic heating. Water vapor is also the most abundant greenhouse gas. 

As the equilibrium vapor pressure of water vapor increases rapidly with temperature, warming (or cooling) induced by a climate forcing will be amplified through water vapor feedback [e.g., Soden et al., 2002]. The strength of this feedback is a key determinant of the planet’s equilibrium climate sensitivity."
