Lew,
Thanks for sharing the Ayn Rand quote Roderick Long posted. Funny, the political class is more than happy to impose ever-more controls as fast as they can have them, but we peons must be satiated by gradual reductions in controls. Rothbard long ago exposed the fallacies of reverse Fabianism—the State’s tendency is to grow, not shrink, so gradualism in destatizing is doomed from the start. But more centrally, the only way for it to work is to move fast enough that your changes cannot be undone before you’ve completed them.
