...paying a cent. That's obviously not true: the transition to a greener economy could be a wrenching one, and it won't be free. But it should be a better economy, a fairer one, and certainly one that is better for the planet. Jones knew that, and the movement had no better spokesperson. In some ways, he might be better off out of the White House, liberated to speak freely again, not buried in West Wing bureaucracy.

He said that "unrestrained market fundamentalism and financial capitalism" are "devoid of morals or moderation," and criticized a "way of thinking based on the idea that American-style free-market economics represents a universal and ideal economic order." "The influence of the U.S. is declining," Hatoyama wrote, in a "new era of multipolarity."
