George,

You bring up a good point about the Lind commentary — he thinks socialism and libertarianism are both dead.
Given the continued creeping socialism at all levels of government,
Lind is clearly wrong about the former. His alternative future is of an
open-immigration, pro-globalization elite versus a nativist majority.

No clue what might be the
elite or majority opinions on schools, eminent domain, economic
incentives, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, or secret holds.
