Because most people don't realize Lincoln was basically a Marxist. The pendulum has swung so far from that norm in the modern day, thanks largely to an Ayn Rand objectivism-fuelled orgy of biollionaire "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" propaganda.
- missedthecue 3y agoI think it's rather due to the fact that like most other disciplines, the economic sciences have been further fleshed out since 1858. We no longer re-use unwashed surgical instruments, and we no longer subscribe to marxist ideology. No one likes Lincoln for his economic opinions.
