@gemlog@tilde.zone @crispius@mstdn.fname.ca @SnowyCA@social.vivaldi.net Poilievre's little essay for those who care to read it .
I argue this was Poilievre's last new idea, but even this isn't his idea, it was Hayek's from 80+ years ago, or 55 years before the essay ..

@gemlog@tilde.zone @crispius@mstdn.fname.ca @SnowyCA@social.vivaldi.net These worn out old ideas continue to guide Poilievre's policy ideas 80 years later. Stiglitz's "Road to Freedom" from a mere two years ago challenges Hayek's idea and Polievre's poor immitations "While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike." https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324074373
