"Renaissance Thinking About the Issues of Our Day"
My word today is engineer.(Engineering). It seems popular culture and the word of this generation for corporate America is engineered. As in social engineering. Or engineered economies. This is simple logic, when you subtract engineering, the practice of mathematics, metallurgy and quality control from buildings(architecture) or from airplanes, the buildings fall to the ground and airplanes crash into the ground(assuming both get off the ground) so why would any intelligent human being or semi-intelligent Republican expect to pass off social engineering as a fault? The answer is simple if they can float the idea that social engineering is bad they don't have to wave the banner of deregulation. Deregulation of corporations and banks caused our economy to crash in to the ground. In 1929 and 2008 deregulation was an important part of the economic collapse. So please when you see a commentator on your nightly news or financial advisor use the word engineer or engineering, please hold them accountable. A society that is not engineered, a society that is forced into market regulation, has in the past and will in the future crash to the ground.
