That is a fine article, and discusses the basic flaw in liberal thinking -- from CJ to tejek to Al to pubo -- all in one article. Its essence is below. I would like to see ONE of this thread's liberals mount a cogent counter-argument to Sowell's comments. ==== Too many discussions of large fortunes attribute them to "greed" -- as if wanting a lot of money is enough to cause other people to hand it over to you. It is a childish idea, when you stop and think about it -- but who stops and thinks these days? The transfer of money was a zero-sum process. What increased the wealth of society was Rockefeller's cheap kerosene that added hundreds of hours of light to people's lives annually. Edison, Ford, the Wright brothers, and innumerable others also created unprecedented expansions of the lives of ordinary people. The individual fortunes represented a fraction of the wealth created.
