Ø on tv. The pitch is very smooth Just as the Soviet Union was getting in knee pants von Mises wrote a prescient book about how and why they'd fail. He was ignored. Ultimate collapse took three score and seven, with a lot of interim misery. The lesson still hasn't sunk in there. Ø and minions are making a giant leap in statist control of medicine, a trend long in process. It'll fail for the same reasons vM detailed in SOCIALISM. There'll be a lot of collateral damage and a probability the state will continue expanding its baneful influence in other sectors. But for most of our neighbors, ignorance is bliss.
