I'd have everyone go to the source and read it...twice on the first pass. Each day, reread what you read the previous day. It's that dense and that important.

Selma wrote a book? Does it have pics?
Someone should send a copy to Grassley.
Sam,
Maybe ponderous yes, but do have a source that is more logical, historical and easier to digest???
If so please share it.
When did the first principles of liberty ever go out of style? After all, 1945 to now is only 60 years.
As a young hippie, IIRC, there was an album called "Workingman's Dead", no? Just a short 35 yrs ago ;>)

Hmmm...time for a new tag line.
Maybe I spoke too harsh. Probably so. But yes, I've read many things posted here on this site that are more readable and more applicable to the question of socialism and slavery. Remember, this was written before the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Before Castro. Before the rise of Polish workers against communism, the fall of the Berlin wall and the fall of the Soviet Union. It was written before the rise of the Berlin Wall. That doesn't make it less logical or less brilliant...but less topical and less popularizable.
The question is not, "how brilliant is this piece". The question is, "is this what we need on the cover of the Rolling Stone" (so to speak).
My answer is: no.
There have been at least a hundred Wall Street Journal opinion/editorial pieces in the last 20 years that make a better case from free markets than this does.
In my opinion.
And I forgot to mention: Before the fall of the Sandinistas who have tried to win elections in Nicaragua many times since and always failed, beaten by free market parties.
Bump for later read.
