I think you mean libertarian. Unless there’s some spicy details of Adam Smith’s life that the history books left out.
- rectang 7mo agoDollars to donuts that "libertine" was just as deliberate as the "satanic" that followed it.
- mr_toad 7mo agoI was prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if it was deliberate it’s worse; it descends beyond mere polemics and is just casting baseless and unfounded aspersions.
- rectang 7mo agoI quite enjoyed it. Smith has long been commandeered by libertine laissez-faire cultists who have severed the “invisible hand” from his body of work to worship as a relic.
