“A common gripe in American politics is that for too long, libertarians have been in charge, wielding too much power. Sometimes this complaint comes from progressives in the mold of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.), who argue that hands-off economic policy … has fueled the growth and concentration of corporate power at the expense of small business and labor, resulting in an economy that’s rigged against the little guy. Sometimes this complaint comes from conservatives, particularly New Right voices who insist that libertarians and classical liberals have ignored the consequences of unfettered free markets … The charge has always carried a whiff of desperation, given how little power actual self-identified libertarians have in the corridors of government. But … maybe it’s time to revise the complaint: Libertarians don’t have enough power.” (for publication 07/25)
