The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman – REBUTTED

by | Feb 12, 2020

Economist Robert P. Murphy and I discuss Krugman’s take on leftism, the morality of the state, welfare, economic cycles, inequality, the great depression and much more!

In short, Krugman fails to explain why the state has a moral right to do things (initiate violence against peaceful people to collect taxes, cage them for victimless crimes, etc.) no other group has the right to do, rendering his thesis not only contradictory but also immoral.
