This is just oblivious pontificating on politics and economy. He's obviously been immensely successful in tech, but here he's not connecting at all with the issues of young people, or with left scholarship. > Conversely, if we pursue free services and money we will drive more power into the hands of a larger and larger incompetent government, and I think we know where that will end up — and it won’t be great for anyone. Sure you can just state this, but no one has to buy it. My government has more than adequate at providing "free" healthcare to everyone, and it's pretty stupid to broadly dismiss that like it "won't be great for anyone". It's actually great for everyone. "Incompetent government" is a pernicious anti-social idea. Modern governments have a myriad problems but Government itself has proven its competence over and over again at addressing very difficult societal problems. > Entrepreneurship has created the greatest gains in our standard of living to date, even if it’s hard to grasp the wild polarization of wealth in society. You can sub in one of [Capitalism, Entrepreneurship, Western Civilisation] in this statement, and find it repeated over and over again like it's self-evident. Many "greatest gains" in our society had blatantly nothing to do with Entrepreneurship, take for example the Civil Rights movement, which certainly contributed greatly to overall standard of living. The Capitalist model can't slap a dollar figure on that though, so let's just ignore it. Overall this piece is so confidently slap-dash I don't think Calacanis is actually listening to or reading any of the best opponents to his world view.
