		<description><![CDATA[Er jeg den eneste der ikke forstår meningen med denne her kronik af Anders Holm Thomsen, der tilsyneladende slår til lyd for en form for national-konservativ liberalisme (&#8221;Venstre ved du hvor du har&#8221;, kronik bragt i Berlingske d. 24. juni 2008)? Argumentet er, så vidt jeg kan forstå, at den rene liberalisme er død som [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hvis der er et lyspunkt i forbindelse med den efterhånden uendeligt lange strejke blandt sundhedspersonale og pædagoger, må det være at statskassen går glip af en masse millioner som følge af at de fradragsberettigede fagforeningskontingenter stiger fordi strejkekasserne skal fyldes op igen. Den dårlige nyhed er naturligvis at det primært er fagforeningerne der lukrerer på [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Notorious leftist Jesse Larner has a great piece on Hayek on notoriously leftist Dissent Magazine today. Larner primarily reminds us, and especially the left, that Hayek was hardly the ardent free-market fundamentalist he is often portrayed as. Of course, anyone who has ever read Hayek, especially &#8220;The Constitution of Liberty&#8221; knows this. The article also reveals [...]]]></description>

Det første omhandlede positiv særbehandling i USA (&#8221;affirmative action&#8221;), og var, imod al forventning, forholdsvist kritisk overfor det, i og med at det tog udgangspunkt i en sag som hvide der har følt sig diskrimineret har anlagt imod University of Michigan.

		<description><![CDATA[A fine little piece in the Financial Times today, discusses the association between income inequality and Anglo-American style free-market capitalism. To everyones surprise, no obvious correlation exists. Some months ago I did a few simple analyses of the same problem, and neither found no correlation on a broad scale. It also confirms other more scientifically [...]]]></description>

Den er mest interessant i forhold til min forrige post om modkultur, der handlede om Dennis Nørmark og Ungdomshuset. Jeg indvendte at der var noget særdeles hadefuldt over ungdomshusets kultur, selvom de nægter at indrømme det.
