Congratulations David Brooks
I decided to read David Brook’s column (sub. req.) this morning before reading anything else. My objective was to get known frustrations out of the way; eliminate the obstacles that make for a less pleasant day.
Today is a landmark day. A day to be recoreded in journalistic history. It is the first time I have read Brook’s column and there was a common flow; no wandering off into la-la land, and I did not get frustrated.
Brooks column is still much a do about nothing – no more than a filler in The Times. He tells us about Human Capital. And, true to form he doesn’t bring bring anything together so that you understand why he wrote the column, but he manages stay in the safety zone.
I actually enjoyed this graf.
As people drift away from me at these parties by pretending to recognize long-lost friends across the room, I’m convinced that they don’t really understand what human capital is.
Dave, buddy, when people drift away from you, it’s not a matter of human capital or at least a part of human capital that you would appreciate.
Congratulations David, today you get a C-.
