[lbo-talk] Economics as a Moral Science?

[Chuck Loucks]

Aside from the typos, interesting article.  I'm tired of economists arguing 
that lower wages equal
higher living standards and so, I found this article refreshing.  I also 
love the way apologists for
free markets always seem to forget that without property rights enforced by 
government through
police, courts, prisons and the military, there would be no markets worthy 
of any mention; which
you point out.
