In a very smart talk with Interview magazine’s Stephen Mooallem, Eliot Spitzer went after — among other things — his most recent nemesis, The Wall Street Journal:
It’s very hard to be a passionate moderate, because the energy and the adrenaline flows more when you’re the screaming libertarian or the angry populist who attacks the ramparts of capitalism. I actually believe in capitalism. But I don’t think The Wall Street Journal has the foggiest idea of what capitalism is all about. They don’t understand what markets are and how they work.
Quotes like that from Eliot Spitzer, economic activist, almost make you forget about Eliot Spitzer, lover of young prostitutes who doesn’t take his black socks off during sex. Luckily, Interview paired their story with photography by Terry Richardson, which somehow reminds you again.
