Thank you to all my twitter homies who wanted to bring to my attention that both Mr. Friedman and Mr. Hayek believed in the ‘basic income’ as what? Concern for the poor and the downtrodden? Or just a bit of self-apologetics/propaganda, for their red in tooth and claw Social Darwinism masquerading as Economics/Science, in the war against the Keynesians and that old Devil Marx ? Isn’t it flabbergasting even in the face of the Soviet’s murderous State Capitalism/Marxism, that Marx should still be a potent voice in our ‘debates’ or rather our trading in polemics. Or that that notorious queer, according to Mr. Ferguson, Keynes should still have the power to animate our conversations.
Best regards to all,
