   Who are these "others" you are refering to? There is no argument in s.cn   
   or s.c.b over the issue of planned, state owned USSR-style economic   
   model vs. market economy. There is a consensus in favour of the latter.   
      
   (Perhaps Markku Grönroos despite his indiscreet wording is not   
   completely wrong: a guy seeing adversaries that aren't there will   
   rightfully have others doubt his mental helth.)
