The New Republic's Critique of Mujica

"It's a mix of he's probably a little ADHD and maybe a little too much of an anarchist to be good at making things work in a system," says Julian Zelizer. "As presidents go, it doesn't get writer." The article quotes a journalist who agrees with everything Mujica has to say about materialism: inequality and consumerism are damaging to society. It was exciting and fascinating to me then that this man became our president, but he has done nothing", writes Zelizer.
