Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Why do you post such hateful screeds against the magic of the market? After all, inheriting wealth and privilege is an age-old tradition, and separating insufficiently curious investors from their money is as American as apple pie.

... words, which I should add were taken out of context and, anyway, I never said them.

what I meant was, those meanie libertarians, trying to con people into thinking that the market is only good by virtue of supporting individual enterprise.

Why, the aristocracy of wealth is not maintained by individual enterprise! What kind of foolishness is that? A system of individual enterprise would be a terrible way to perpetuate a small group of wealthy families in inordinate power and luxury.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
