It’s a sobering validation of Friedrich Hayek’s famous dictum that to be controlled in our economic pursuits—perhaps now more than ever—means to be controlled in everything.

And that’s a libertarian insight that would never occur to anyone else.

Must read indeed.

Mike: I’m not really concerned to establish my team’s mascot got there first. Marx, Fanon, Foucalt, Debord & (sigh) Chomsky all instructive on this front. You win, I guess, if we’re racing.

Also, totally orthogonally: Poor Chomsky. He’s sort of turned into the Thomas Sowell of the left.

Well somebody had to turn into the Thomas Sowell of the left.

It’s bad enough Thomas Sowell turned into the Thomas Sowell of the right. The guy used to have things to say.

It’s a TOS world; we’re just living in it.
