“What we all want is an economy that delivers our own version of ‘fairness,’ which almost always involves more for us and less for everybody else. It’s an economy that is so finely controlled that what we do no longer determines what we get. We can step on all the rakes we want; never will the handle come up and hit us in the face. Instead, everything is under control. We get outcomes that are the result neither of choice nor chance, but of crony connections and the master plan. In short, we all want to live in North Korea – until we actually see the place.”
