Markets Not Capitalism in prime time tonight: Gary Chartier: “Looks like I’m tentatively confirmed to talk about this book, of all things, on Stossel on Thursday, December 5. Thanks as usual to Charles W. Johnson, Roderick Tracy Long, Sheldon Richman, Brad Spangler, non-Facebookers Kevin Carson and Joe Stromberg, and others for making this such a great book.”

“Brain Science” in the news.

“All this article shows is that the author couldn’t pass an ideological Turing test.” Nathan Goodman — blockquote — “. . . Atheists who embrace libertarianism often do so because they believe a governing body represents the same kind of constructed authority they’ve escaped from in regards to religion. This makes sense if one is talking about a totalitarian regime, but our Jeffersonian democracy, despite its quirky flaws, is government by the people for the people, and it was the federal government that essentially built the great American middle-class, the envy of the world. . . .” — /blockquote — Good God, this quote is like everything that I despise about liberals wrapped up into one tidy package.
