I invite you to read this Nytimes article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/05/sports/olympics/05nest.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin) written by Nicolai Ouroussoff regarding the Beijing Olympic National Stadium and tell me your thoughts on his critique. Do you think his detailed, post-construction perspective accurately reflects the design objectives? Or do you think he, like most critics and art historians, attribute more qualities to the architecture than the architects' own intents?

My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could most aptly be characterized as agrarian precapitalism, whereas Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth.
