I love Thomas Sowell. Several of my favorite books of his are Knowledge and Decisions, and The Vision of the Anointed:Self Congratulations as a Basis for Social Policy. What a wonderful thinker. I was just thinking about him today and decided to catch up on his weekly columns. I particularly liked his latest one, The Limits of Power. It's about the limits of using force to compel humans to achieve certain results, especially results in the higher strata of achievement.
He makes the argument that President Obama's calls for such "arbitrary goals" like affordable housing for all or for universal health care are similar in nature to the five-year plans and other diktats by totalitarian regimes. They both assume results can be achieved through the power of governments to either legislate or to use force to make their citizens carry out their imperatives. Sowell....what a sexy brain.
