Although Wilson, the James Collins Professor of Management at UCLA, is no libertarian--resolutely against drug legalization, he informed our interviewers that he has "a mutual non-aggression pact" with Reason on the topic--his work is characterized by an emphasis on issues such as the appropriate scope of government, the baleful effects of centralized social engineering, and the primacy of individual responsibility and autonomy. Nice summary of where Wilson falls in the political spectrum. Particularly, the "baleful effects of centralized social engineering." Now I wonder who the authors of Reason had in mind on that one. Wilson has long argued that the poor are responsible for their poverty, not structural features. Smart guy but definitely not my cup of tea.
