What is a conservative?

From Restructuring Today ($ub req'd), reporting on Markey's hearings on allocation vs. auction as a cap & trade methodology:

Even conservative Harvard economist Gregory Mankiw believes a free allocation amounts to corporate welfare.

Even conservative?

Restructuring and setting limits .............

....... on the endless growth of the world's artificially designed human economy are in the offing, I suppose.

Worldwide expansion of industrialization activities, unrestrained gigantesque corporatism and unbridled economic globalization present a clear and present danger to humanity and function with regard to Earth's body, ecosystems and limited resources as the equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction, a WMD more powerful than any yet imagined by the human mind.

While I do not think the family of humanity needs to immediately stop these "overgrowth" activities, we could consider limiting the increases of what appears to us, even now, as soon to become unsustainable growth of the manmade global economy.

Sincerely,

Steve
