1) over at http://ballots.blogspot.com i've written
a thing about michael moore and his nemesis david bossie, so check it out, eh?
2) at volokh i saw barnett making a reference to hayek and the great society, and i nearly choked on my coffee.
in eric goldman's book on lbj, lbj changes goldman's "the good society" to "the great society", in what became a buzzword for a package of consitutive commitments a la the new deal, the fair deal, the raw deal, the new deck.
did lbj rip off, and pervert, the phrase from hayek? looks that way. classic lbj.
this essay from lewrockwell.com has more. this is the first thing i've seen from that site i liked; i usually dismiss rockwell as a wingnut. takes one to know one.
rothbard i don't mind.
um, would i get in trouble for thinking it's funny that a power struggle at the washington times is between guys named joo and kwak?
cato link on great society.
richard epstein on hayek, orwell, lbj, great society.
Yet simultaneously, Hayek was prepared to accept, perhaps too naively, the modern social democrat program whereby the state was to supply health, employment and old-age insurance, without once asking how the provision of these minimum rights could distort the operation of decentralized markets for which he is so justly praised. In the end, Hayek is rightly remembered most for his trenchant criticisms of central planning, and not for his incomplete vision of a constitutional or political order.
interesting - we've (the libertarian blogoverse) been critiquing epstein for the same sort of reasons.
