(the ** marks the mistake).<br /><br />Maybe that's utopian. Maybe our nature is to maximize power.ivanfoofoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899286403907746852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-60826374652874044482010-10-23T16:37:35.391-04:002010-10-23T16:37:35.391-04:00I haven't seen the essays, Gene, but I very mu...I haven't seen the essays, Gene, but I very much doubt your students are all capitalist ideologues. Instead of them saying, "Aristotle thought the good life consisted in something besides wealth acquisition, therefore he was utopian," I imagine they were more likely saying, "Aristotle thinks people are motivated by things other than money, and therefore he is an idealist."<br /><br />I realize we can't settle this without quotes, which you shouldn't do.<br /><br />To make sure I'm being clear: It sounds like you are continuing your running vendetta against certain types of libertarian. But I doubt very much that your students are all Rothbardians.Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.com
