He's the Pro-Business, Pro-Capitalist ChoiceNiall Ferguson is a professor of history at Harvard Universityl.

His Latest book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, has just been published by Penguin Press.
From the Daily Beast, "Niall Ferguson Endorses Mitt Romney for President" Nov. 29:
From the Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, America is angry at elites. But Mitt Romney’s business success makes him the best candidate by far.Editor's note - Niall Ferguson is married to Pro-Liberty/Anti-Islamist activist and former Dutch Parliamentarian Ayann Hirsi Ali.
Actually, the best case for Mitt Romney was just made by the other side. In an unintentionally hilarious piece, The New York Times attempted a hatchet job based on his time as the founder and CEO of Bain Capital: “After a Romney Deal, Profits and Then Layoffs.”
You know what this evil bastard did? Yes, that’s right. He used borrowed money to take over failing companies. And that’s not all. He fired some of the folks who worked at those companies. Wait, it gets even worse. He restored those companies to profitability. I know, I know. And—to cap it all—he made hundreds of millions of dollars doing it... that’s exactly the business model of private equity and leveraged buyouts
In Europe these days, the answer to fiscal crisis is to put a technocrat in charge... what the U.S. government really needs is a private-equity guy in the White House

God bless any man who could make that woman happy. I've always loved her insight, but she always looks miserable whenever she appears on camera.
