A recent post suggesting that President Obama could play most of the roles in the drama Glengarry Glen Ross brought several comments from readers about David Mamet, the extremely talented author. While I was familiar with a small portion of his work, I knew little to nothing about the man. One reader referenced Mamet’s article in The Village Voice entitled David Mamet: Why I Am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead Liberal.’ Mamet’s categorization of society into two main groups, his role as a member of one of these groups and how he “switched teams,” so to speak, was very interesting reading. While it was not a rapid “road to Damascus conversion,” the change was just as complete as evidenced by the following quote:
“‘Aha,’ you will say, and you are right. I began reading not only the economics of Thomas Sowell (our greatest contemporary philosopher) but Milton Friedman, Paul Johnson, and Shelby Steele, and a host of conservative writers, and found that I agreed with them: a free-market understanding of the world meshes more perfectly with my experience than that idealistic vision I called liberalism.”
