       @blair_fix @pluralistic “Overall, the message of these texts is ‘the economy is about interactions in competitive markets (a positive statement) that function pretty well (a normative one) and in which governments ought not to meddle.’”The irony is Adam Smith was very clear that government indeed should meddle. And as a moral philosopher, he’d be astonished his name is attached to such widespread income inequality.
