The Inevitability of Private Interests

by Liberty and Power

I explain why trying to use the state to combat the ill influence of"private interests" over the" common good" is nonsensical in theory and bound to cause disaster in practice, in a new article "The Inevitability of Private Interests." Indeed, only the free market can liberate us completely from the private interests we don't want in our lives.

Good job, Anthony. This article deserves to be remembered when most daily commentaries are forgotten.
