Who said that's a right-wing cliche? I first heard it from a leftish lawyer on a panel I was on about ten years ago. He kept going on about how NYC should encourage small business as an economic development strategy. I responded by saying that small biz ain't so great - it pays less and can provide a more dangerous workplace than bigger biz. He dismissed this, saying he didn't want to get down in the "paralysis of analysis." It's one of the things that got me thinking about the pathologies of activistism.
