“‘Let anyone do anything he pleases, so long as it is peaceful.’ — Leonard Read. For most liberals, ethics, law, and economic thinking more or less originate in this single imperative. Academic philosophers might have a field day with this formulation. Let them blather on in their critiques, counting angels on pinheads while the rest of us widen and deepen our Empire of the Mind. We might have walked many different paths to get here, but we have made this our prime value. And for my money, it’s the easiest and best way to discuss our philosophy between the lobby and the 10th floor.” (08/26/24)
