Again, I have gotten more out of this work then I have gotten out of anything else. I love Orwell for his vision and ability to just put it right in your face. I admire Rand for seeing what crony capitalism really is, but Bastiat understood the philosophy of governance better then any I have ever read...he nailed it 100 years before it became relevant in this country. Had we heeded his words, we would not be in the state we are in now. Alas, we went a different way, and here we are with riots in the streets and riots in the legislature. So cheers!
