"But we can make it better. All it takes is rule of law and limited government. If government will just stay out of the bar, and stop bossing the patrons around, ideas will meet and mate and produce wonderful things."
Free markets make free people -- Milton Friedman could not have said it better.
Liberals foster a pessimistic outlook on life because they want to enlarge the scope of government, which they view as the grand panacea to all of society's ills.
Yet even "society" becomes and empty construct that invites a crude correlation of cause and effect in daily life. There is no overarching system of power that drives individuals of different "races" or "classes" in this country, or anywhere else in the world. The Marxist nonsense of never-ending class warfare was created in order to provide a hack-bohemian political scientist with a diversionary past-time while he fleeced opulent handouts from his partner in Communist ideology.
As long as individuals insist on looking at the setting of their lives and the circumstance of their position in the world, they have no recourse reason to strike out for themselves. Envy is a terrible sin, one which breeds nothing but sloth, unhappiness, and an unreasonable despair.
Free markets make free people. The spontaneous order, beyond the inner capacity of one man to template, improves the lot of many without the planning or any.
