Or even if the faux philosopher bothered to read John Dewey who said
government is the shadow cast by big business. TFP and the other so-
called "libertarians" are so far out of touch with reality they think
the shadow exists on its own.
The concept of eminent domain has taken a business-inspired
surrealistic shift, that's for sure. The original idea was to
acquire land for the public good, that is, to move private land into
public hands for the benefit of the community as a whole. Now it's
about taking land from one private party and giving it to another
just because the second party will generate more profit from it.
However, don't expect such eminent domain issues to arise in Malibu
or Brentwood or the Hamptons. And lemme know when the government
decides to take Bill Gate's house in order to build a public school
or park or library. Now THAT would be an interesting development.
