I agree that it's an excellent essay. Of course, Paleo is right that it takes as its premise that free markets should be taken for granted as a pillar of American society. But it's unfortunately too much to expect corporate media in the U.S. to give a platform to socialists who truly advocate socialism. And nowadays, even not kowtowing to a wannabe dictator in advance of the election was too much to expect. I have to wonder if Bezos would even allow this kind of op-ed to be printed next year.
