“I’ve noted that the ‘solutions’ to the social problem of poverty proposed by our friends left of middle — of equality of outcome or equality of opportunity — are both impossible. Equality of permission, by contrast, can be achieved tomorrow. But the left for the past two centuries has kept seeing new social problems, big and small, which they claim the market can’t solve. Slums. Bad education. Monopoly. Like their impossible solutions to inequality, many of their ideas are non-solutions to non-problems. And even for a real problem, the left supposes, without much thinking, that the state can do better.” (08/30/24)
