It's a commonplace that labels like "left" and "right" don't mean anything, but that's not true.

1/
The first clean distinguishing test I ever heard came from @StevenBrust: "Ask what's more important, human rights, or property rights. If they say property rights are a human right, they're on the right." (I liked this so much I put it in my novel Walkaway)

2/
Then came the definition from @CoreyRobin's "The Reactionary Mind": to be on the right is to believe that some of us were ordained to rule and the rest to be ruled over, and that the world is only right when the correct rulers are enthroned.

This week marks the publication of @bartongellman's "Dark Mirror," an important addition to the canon of books about the @Snowden revelations. Earlier this week, @TheAtlantic ran a fascinating excerpt about how spy agencies targeted Gellman.

Today in @Wired, we get another taste - a long excerpt about the "Database of ruin" - the @NSAGov's system for mapping the "social graphs" of every person in America using phone billing record.

wired.com/story/inside-t…

2/
This system was handwaved by GW Bush, who said, "if somebody is talking to al Qaeda, we want to know why" - but as Gellman discovered, that's not what the "Stellarwind" program did. This wasn't about getting terrorists' call records to see who they talked to.

Sometimes, you can actually see the Overton Window shifting. This month is one of those times, with @business running a @Noahpinion op-ed calling for a new New Deal, arguing that the main problem with the last one is that it didn't go far enough.

1/
Smith devotes a fair chunk of his column to debunking New Classical economists who claim that the New Deal lengthened the Great Depression, an idea that has been comprehensively demolished by careful empirical work, and is only cited today by plute-lovin' motivated reasoners.

2/
Though Smith doesn't write the words "#ModernMonetaryTheory," it's hard not to see them waiting just off to one side - the idea that inflation is causedby government spending on things the private sector is trying to but - not by deficits.
