Proletarian Blues

""But [Barbara] Ehrenreich's misguided diagnoses and prescriptions occupy at most a tenth of [her] book. The bulk of the book is devoted to a description of the problems, and there's nothing sneerworthy about that. And libertarians will win few supporters so long as they continue to give the impression of regarding the problems Ehrenreich describes as unimportant or non-existent. If you?re desperately ill, and Physician A offers a snake-oil remedy while Physician B merely snaps, 'stop whining!? and offers nothing, Physician A will win every time." Whoa! A prominent libertarian intellectual shows some compassion for the working class? Cool."
