A Decent Critique of Friedman
One of the ARI’s better episodes. It’s a decent critique of Friedman.
A couple of problems: it does not explore Rand’s alternative to Friedmanism deeply. In particular, what would a society totally devoid of altruism really look like? I think the ARI knows this would turn off listeners if they really challenged themselves here as opposed to sticking to softballs as they always do.
The second problem is that Jefferson also supported a degree of utilitarian thinking even if it hadn’t been so named yet. His advocacy of public education demonstrates this. So, sorry, but no, he was not fanatical about always siding with natural rights over utilitarian considerations.
