A simple model

From Keeping Up With the FITs, 4/23 by Arnold Kling.

I keep thinking of Bryan Caplan’s simple model that the left hates markets and the right hates the left. In that sense, the right is a big tent, which is bound to include some clowns and weird acts. Too many of them also hate markets, unfortunately.

I like markets, free speech, and processes that reward talent and effort. To the extent that the left opposes those things, I hate the left. To the extent that the right is afraid of those things, I distrust the right.
