Dude, economists are hard out like Jedis. I’ve forgotten why, but when I remember there will be a blog post 😛

Actually there is – the market price takes into account the scarcity of resources over time – that is one of the major points of a price. The Greens don’t accept this, and as a result they assume the very problems in the system that they want to fix without explaining why – however, without understanding why we don’t know how best to fix them.

“He was, once. Today he is more of a pundit, if not outright political hack.”

To be fair, he still does a lot of reasonable public analysis – when he isn’t being a party hack.

“They are so intent on working against human nature that they will inevitably resort to complete social domination to do their “good” work.”

They refuse to acknowledge there own ideological predispositions – and that is why they fail.

They just dont like people making choices they disagree with. Most politicians are the same. The difference is that the Greens are the ones most disposed to use governmental power to force compliance.

They are so intent on working against human nature that they will inevitably resort to complete social domination to do their “good” work.

The NZ Greens: voted ‘Most likely to oppress their fellow man’ in their college year book

They spent most of the following year tracking down all copies of the year book and replacing the term “fellow man” to “fellow person”.

Some of those (economists?…… (Not sure where they belong)) people such as George Reisman , Owen McShane, seem to see the world as a big toy: man climbs in and provided he follows the system man always comes out smelling of roses. There is no overpopulation or resource depletion and you can’t wreck the environment.

Sounds like government organisations in general 🙂
