crazy how they just act like kansas's austerity failure never happened

• piva00 2y ago
  Cato ignores a lot of failures coming from austerity or deregulation initiatives, they are literally a paid mouthpiece for the world view Koch-adjacent folks have, they do not exist to provide comprehensive analysis of benefits and failures of deregulation. They solely exist to push the view regulation = bad, even to the point of a dualspeak-esque attempt to put freedom and regulation completely at odds. I do not understand who can read Cato's opinion pieces and believe it might have something substantial to be said, if you subscribe to libertarianism there are much better intellectual works to provide you arguments.

    >if you subscribe to libertarianism there are much better intellectual works to provide you arguments Got any examples?

      Even if I don't subscribe to their views, Kevin Carson, and Gary Chartier have the non-right wing form of libertarianism put up for discussion, instead of this Ayn Rand/Milton Friedman corporatist view of libertarianism.
