Luskin - LuskinReport.com Issue Date: Aug 07 2001 George Gilder is right when he blasts U.S. telecom policy, but his charges sound like excuses for his poor investment performance. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal ran an extraordinary op-ed piece by George Gilder, called "Tumbling into the Telechasm." In it, the celebrated author of Telecosm and the publisher of the Gilder Technology Report lists all the federal government's catastrophic policy blunders that led to today's technology depression, a devastating bill of wrongs. Gilder indicts deflationary monetary policy. He blasts socialistic telecommunications regulatory policy. He savages Internet tax policy. He eviscerates anti-competitive antitrust enforcement policy. And he is dead right on all counts. These are important truths that absolutely must be spoken. The shame of it is that no one takes George Gilder's views on these matters seriously. And so Gilder's brilliant counterblast is likely to sink without leaving so much as a ripple. | |
