Jake because he's less repugnant than Bono on economic issues

Bono

While I may not always agree with him, I wouldn't call his economic views "repugnant." He has excellent knowledge of economic theory (or, to be specific, Austrian economics).

I'm not disputing his knowledge of economic theory, which is impressive but the simple fact is that I'm left-of-centre on economic issues. For me to embrace classical or neo-liberal economics would be tantamount to me abandoning my social conscience and I could never do that - and no I'm not a socialist

Gross disparities of wealth are the origin of many social ills. Capitalism can have a compassionate face, and in having so, can serve the common good
