I’d never heard of Brink Lindsey before today, and truth be known, I found his article on a liberal economist’s blog from UC Berkeley. But let me say this–if this be liberalism, sign me up. The man’s analysis of what’s happened to the U.S. socio-economic structure in the past 50 or more years is absolutely spot and right on. I love his conclusion that personal freedom is meeting economic freedom in America, and that’s precisely the result I cherish, Obama interregnum Nazism aside.

When you read "Nostalgiaomics: Liberal economists pine for days no liberal should want to revisit," pay particular attention to, well, everything, but especially to the freedom-destroying Treaty of Detroit of 1950 and then to the Washington Consensus that emerged in the 1970s. Great stuff.
