@benroyce I've been wanting to read this book for a while now, just to see what the tone of that free-market religion was like after the cold war.I'm curious about it because it is both interesting and infuriating how progressives are always described as being too idealistic, yet free-market apologists were the ones who thought they had found an ideology so perfect that it would literally end every problem humanity ever faced for its entire existence.
