Here's an example of thinking that confuses free markets with crony capitalism:
What's the Matter With Libertarians?: Thomas Frank blames the freedom movement for Jack Abramoff and George W. Bush - Reason Magazine: "The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule, by Thomas Frank, New York: Metropolitan Books."
Here we are tackling the development of people's and societies' frameworks of adaptation including how development is blocked by ideology. There is the early emergence of mental activity, facts and theories about social/psychological development, and epistemological presumptions of theories as to which interdisciplinary factors and science—biological, psychological, social, economic—are at the source and origin of the evolution of the human species.

About Me
- Richard Meinhard
- I came up through the elementary and middle school teaching ranks in Iowa and California to land in degree programs at the U of California and U of I. My Ph.D. is in developmental psychology and cognitive systems theory. After teaching at the U of Portland in math and teacher ed, I began my own organization to bring research into the public schools. I also have worked for policy changes such as chartering that would open opportunities for change oriented educators.
