“We can’t just make the case for capitalism based on the fact, as indisputable as it is, that capitalism produces more stuff. Even if you convince someone of that, they are vulnerable to the first charlatan who comes along and says it’s not fair, that if we only empower politicians and bureaucracies we can improve things. The case for liberty must ultimately rest upon a deep and abiding moral dimension. It’s right because it’s what humans were made for. We’re not a fleet of homogenous robots that function best when somebody programs us. We’re at our best when we’re free to be ourselves, to be responsible for our decisions without the power to impose our mistakes at gunpoint.”
