Does Thought‐Leadership Equate to Economic Propaganda?

Referencing the Quotable section above, I wonder what “thought leadership” really means. When I hear such a term used to describe any government body my instincts tell me it can’t mean anything positive, regardless of its intent. Kind of reminds me of those Newspeak terms popularized by George Orwell in 1984 – doublethink, telescreen, ingsoc, etc.

Anyway, the quotable refers to the most recent comments by People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou. Yes, I know I got on him for his comments on Monday, but he wants the attention so I am going to give it to him ...
