<<The “creative destruction” which Joseph Schumpeter celebrated sweeps away the old and inefficient through the engine of competitive markets. This is genuine progress, as judged by the people making their buying decisions. But this sort of progress is unpredictable and uncontrollable, since it is at the mercy of countless independently-acting producers and consumers.

The left has no use for this sort of progress. There is no room in it for the wise and all-powerful hand of government, which is what the left is really seeking to augment.>>

What the author seems to miss is that creative destruction applies as well to the social constructs of which the social conservatives are so fond, fond enough to use "the wise and all-powerful ahnd of government" to sustain.

Gay marriage in Massechusetts is creative destruction, too.
